These heavy-eyed men with the alcoholized brains, these pallid youths with the nicotized optic ganglia and thinking-marrows brown as their own meerschaums, of whom you meet too many, will ask all your wisdom to deal with their poisoned nerves and their enfeebled wills. Nearly seventeen hundred children under five years of age died last year in this city.
Yet if there was anything in the cryptic message written here which others, not knowing him as I do, might misjudge, I am not afraid that you will. You see, I do believe in your friendship, Mr. Morrow; I am proving my faith in you." It was a haggard, heavy-eyed young man who presented himself at Henry Blaine's office, early the next morning, with his report.
He may be a heavy-eyed sensualist, a small-minded leader of fashion, a rival to his servants in the gay science of etiquette, a frequenter of race-courses and music-halls, a literary or scientific quack, a devotee, an amateur anything the point is that his income and sustenance have no relation whatever to his activities.
