Pretty looks were too often a snare. One boy his ear was warmed therefor once called aloud "Ethel," as Lewisham went by. The curate, a curate of the pale-faced, large-knuckled, nervous sort, now passed him without acknowledgment of his existence. Mrs. Bonover took occasion to tell him that he was a "mere boy," and once Mrs.
He was far from nervous. This was proven to The Spider's satisfaction when Malvey entered "Bull" Malvey, red-headed, bluff and huge, of a gaunt frame, with large-knuckled hands and big feet.
Then, with short sliding steps, he came across the parquet and sat down beside her on the Empire settee. Annette backed to the end of it and sat defensively on the edge, facing the strange being. He, crossing his thin legs, leaned with an arm extended along the back of the settee and his long, large-knuckled hand hanging limp.
She looked like the American-born daughter of Swedish or Norwegian emigrants and her large-knuckled hands, too, bespoke the peasant strain. "Quit it, Niobe, and tell me your name." The girl raised her tearful eyes. "Kunkel Augusta Kunkel." "Oh, German?" The girl nodded. "Well, Miss Kunkel" she suppressed a smile "tell me your troubles and perhaps you'll feel better."
For answer, suddenly as an attacker, the young man strode across to him and bent, thrusting his feverish and passion-eaten face close to the other man's. His forefinger, long, large-knuckled, jerked up; he traced with it upon his face the course of the great disfiguring scar that flamed diagonally from the inner corner of the right eye to the rim of the sharp jaw.
He saw that her toil-worn, weather-exposed hands were like a man's, callused, large-knuckled, and gnarled, and that her stockingless feet were thrust into heavy man's brogans. "Nary a man," she answered. "And where be you from, and all the way up here? Won't you stop and hitch and have a glass of wine?"
