He was one of those clever, agreeable, plausible, managing little men who seem always to get their own way.
Once more Nuflo became a wanderer, now with the fragile-looking little Rima for companion, the sacred child who had inherited the position of his intercessor from a sacred mother.
It was such an astonishingly small hand. so very fragile-looking and tiny, that he was almost for putting up his eye-glass to survey it, as if it were a separate object in a museum.
