Sally, abandoned and alone, had been fighting her way up that she might stand on his level. "Good God!" groaned the man, in abjectly bitter self-contempt. His hand went involuntarily to his cropped head, and dropped with a gesture of self-doubting. He looked down at his tan shoes and silk socks.
They lost no opportunity of sneering at him whenever they dared to do so. Ishmael Worth could very well afford to practice forbearance towards these ill-conditioned lads.
