A grin that bore no semblance to human mirth, but was a grimace of combined anger and hatred. Once before, during the fight at the ranch, Bill Santry had seen this expression on his employer's face, but not to the degree that Dorothy now saw it. It frightened her. "Oh, Gordon, don't, please!" She closed her eyes to shut out the sight. "Come, we must hurry away."
