All this while, its ominous tinge of dusky red had been deepening and darkening, until, if laid upon white paper, it cast the mingled hue of night and blood, strangely illuminated with scintillating light, in a circle round about. But this peculiarity only made it the more valuable. Alas, the fatal ring!
A face, with a certain mocking monkeyish expression, but without any trait of fierceness or ill-nature a nose slightly snub quick scintillating eyes a chin, tipped with a little tuft of clay-coloured beard some half-dozen queue-like tangles, of bright-yellowish hair, hanging down behind the hat the hat itself a black "silk," badly battered such were the salient points of the portrait appearing above the knee-caps of the taller man.
Now she had come to look upon the matter in its true proportions, and her anticipation of a possible chance of teaching him a lesson was a pleasure to behold.
