He was pale, and his eye-glass, with the cleanshaven face, gave an impression of refined separateness. She did not know that the same look was in both their faces.

When he entered the Notary's office, the Seigneur and M. Dauphin stood up to greet him.
The slightly anxious, yet determined, expression that would appear upon Mr. Port's cleanshaven, ruddy countenance as he settled himself to the discussion of an especially good and especially dangerous dinner betrayed heroic possibilities in his nature which, being otherwise directed, would have won for him glory upon the martial field.

"Is Miss Hilda Farrand at home?" he asked. "I cannot say," replied the man.
