His face was the grayish white of the dead; his eyes were glassy; his lips were parted; while the grime of a London fog had left its black marks round his mouth and eyes, giving him an appearance altogether diabolical.

And, now, let me ask your lordship what name you will assume, for we are near the ducal palace of Duke Hildebrod." "I will be called Grahame," said Nigel; "it was my mother's name."

She gave him a comfortable bunk, and swiftly set about spring-cleaning him.
His throat and eyes burned from the smoke and powder, and his face was black with grime. His lips were like fire to the touch of each other.

"We'll have to get you a hat and a coat. We'll stop at the next barber-shop. You wash up and get shaved. We'll wait. Then we'll head for the court-house." "Me ranch?" And Sundown beamed through his grime.
"Dust, you did not lie to me. My Spirit, you did not lie to me. But now, tell me, Dust and tell me, my Spirit who killed this child?"
