For a moment his heart was assailed by something like a pricking of conscience, but the emotion was only transitory, and his heart became petrified as before. The Countess began to undress before her looking-glass. Her rose-bedecked cap was taken off, and then her powdered wig was removed from off her white and closely-cut hair. Hairpins fell in showers around her.
Then the black became white and glorified, for framed within it appeared a slender shape like a shaft of light. Ralph's eyes did not leave the figure as it stepped out and came down by the garden edge. Along the top of the closely-cut hawthorn a dot of light moved. It was but a speck, like the paler centre of the heather bells.
One was that of a shrewdly-educated young Irishman, whose sharp, piercing black eyes, and closely-cut black hair, gave him a look of acuteness that was apparent to the most casual observer.
Not very long in reality scarcely longer than enabled them to note the hair and closely-cut full beard of iron gray, the keen but troubled eyes, that had scarcely yet ceased to moisten at the memory of the loss of a dearly loved brother, the face care-worn and anxious, and the shoulders bent over a little as he sat, scarcely longer time than this was given them, when the Superintendent laid down his pen and said, sharply and decisively: "Well, gentlemen?"
I started to my feet, and Bunce touched his cap to a tall elderly gentleman with closely-cut grey hair and a very fierce-looking white moustache, whose keen eyes seemed to look me through and through. "I said, what is it, Phil?" cried the newcomer, whom I felt to be Sir Francis before Philip spoke. "This fellow called me a pauper, pa!"

"And a brave man," I said, "who cannot trample on a fallen enemy." Sergeant Briggs gave his slouch felt hat a thrust on one side, while he angrily tore at his grizzled shock of closely-cut hair: it was too fierce to be called a scratch. "All right," he said "all right; but the sight of him trying to get out a pistol to hold at the head of him as as "

"So I imagined," he said, "but I don't see Ronald there."
Of splendid stature and physique, King Richard was unquestionably the finest man of his time. He was handsome, with a frank face, but with a fierce and passionate eye. He wore his moustache with a short beard and closely-cut whisker.
The two men looked at each other, standing face to face on the brown earth of the clearing the Englishman's ruddy countenance, light auburn hair and whiskers, and well-opened bold blue eyes, contrasting with the pale complexion, the keenly-observant look, the dark closely-cut hair, and the delicately-lined face of the American.
