The expression of his face was thoughtful, and the deep, heavily-ringed eyes were like Marzio's, but the forehead was broader, and the breadth ascended higher in the skull, which was clearly defined by the short, closely-cropped hair and the smooth tonsure at the back.
A gracefully-dressed woman, or rather girl, was crossing the sands, accompanied by a young man in a grey suit.
