Only the gentle voice was left. Martha was now back, kneeling on the floor, untying the shabby shoes, rubbing the small, delicately shaped feet in her plump hands to rest and warm them.
When his torture was abated for the time leaving him exhausted and trembling with weakness, she said coldly, "Well, what do you want? What are you doing here?" The man lifted his pallid, haggard face and, with a yellow, claw-like hand wiped the beads of clammy sweat from his forehead; while his deep-sunken eyes leered at her with an insane light. The woman was at no pains to conceal her disgust.
So far as the dim light permitted me a glimpse of the stranger's face, I judged him to be about fifty years of age.
