"Excuse me, I'll go and look for him." But the other was insistent; ferret-like, he had unearthed good meat a rare green one and he felt indisposed to let his prey escape. His insistence matured into insolence as Mortimer spoke somewhat sharply to him. Ignorant of racing as the latter was, he was hardly a man to take liberties with once he recognized the infringement.
Ordinarily, Hayden would have avoided him as he would fire and pestilence; but to-night he rather went out of his way to secure Penfield's society. Penfield was a thin man with slightly stooping shoulders and a neck that craned forward. He had a long pale face as narrow as a wedge, a nose as sharp as a fox's, keen, ferret-like eyes, and white lashes.
A nervous mannerism of the latter periodically reveals the lower teeth, one of which, that immediately below the left canine, is much discolored.

"You are unlike yourself, my dear Froeken!" he said, with a soothing gesture of one of his well-trimmed white hands.
I think I can occasionally detect in these ferret-like orbs that constitute such an attractive portion of your beauty, a passing scintillation of intelligence which you wish to keep a secretis, as they say."
