His eyes with their reddish glow burned nearer and nearer to her. He bulked over her, driving her back against the couch by the tent wall.
There was something preternaturally solemn and mysterious in his manner as, placing a chair nearer to the desk for Mrs. Trent, he motioned Wolfgang to take another opposite.
