He saw the man to whom he had given the sore head, and a woman. The latter was a remarkable-looking person.

I sat idly drawing likenesses from memory of Mr. Candy's remarkable-looking assistant, on the sheet of paper which I had vowed to dedicate to Betteredge until it suddenly occurred to me that here was the irrepressible Ezra Jennings getting in my way again! It was a perfectly commonplace letter but it had one excellent effect on me.
She stood looking at them with a smile of expectancy on her face, as if a scene from the drama of the younger generation were being played for her benefit.
