Accompanying the old soldier was a slight, sharp-featured man with keen black eyes and a thin, pointed moustache of grey. This man was Gourou, Chief of Police and Commander of the Tower in Edelweiss, successor to the celebrated Baron Dangloss. After he had greeted his prince, the quiet little man announced that he had reserved for him an apartment at the Bristol.
Thus, despite virulent curses and feeble kickings, Joe bore him on and up until, as he climbed the last flight, he was arrested by an exclamation from above, and glancing upward, beheld a tall, sharp-featured woman who leaned over the rail. "Oh, land o' my fathers!" exclaimed Mrs. Trapes, "what's the matter what you got there? Who are ye?"
"Then I am only in the majority?" with that forced smile which was his way when he was most annoyed. "You have been to-day," answered Leam, quitting his arm as they came up to her sharp-featured chaperon, but looking straight at him as she spoke with those heart-breaking eyes to which, Edgar thought, everything must yield, and he himself at the last.
I have pleaded your youth and inexperience" Tony winced at this "and I think the business may still be arranged." Meanwhile the agent of the Ten had yielded his place to a sharp-featured shabby-looking fellow in black, dressed somewhat like a lawyer's clerk, who laid a grimy hand on Tony's arm, and with many apologetic gestures steered him through the crowd to the doors of the church.
"When shall you want me?" "When can you come?" grinned Jerry. He was a lank, sharp-featured man with china blue eyes that narrowed to a mere slit when he smiled, and from the corners of which crowsfeet, like fan-shaped streaks of light from the rising sun, radiated across his temples. His skin was tanned to the hue of old hickory and deep down in its furrows were lines of white.
The captain, who was an American, with a sharp-featured and firm but kindly countenance, entered the berth at the moment. "Well, my boy, glad to see you revived. You had a narrow escape. Wouldn't have been so if it hadn't chanced that one of our worst men was the look-out or rather wasn't the look-out. However, you're all right now. Your ship went down, I expect, not long since?"
He had simply bent in worship before a goddess of his own creed. To the girl, Brett was equally a revelation. Fairholme's introductory note described the barrister as "the smartest criminal lawyer in London one whose aid would be invaluable." She expected to meet a sharp-featured, wizened, elderly man, with gold-rimmed eye-glasses, a queer voice and a nasty habit of asking unexpected questions.
As he stepped ashore he was accompanied by a sharp-featured, black-browed individual, whom White recognised as M. Delom, proprietor of a French lobster factory located on another shore of the bay. "That chap has come for pickings and stealings," he remarked in a low tone. "Shouldn't wonder," returned Cabot, "for he looks like a thief." "Ah, ha, Monsieur Baldwin!
Perhaps my little Demetrius was not slain at all. Perhaps this man's tale is true." "Perhaps..." He broke off to stare at her, mistrustfully, searchingly. "What do you mean?" he asked her sharply. Again that wan smile crossed the hard, sharp-featured face that once had been so lovely. "I mean that if the devil came out of hell and called himself my son, I should acknowledge him to your undoing."
"Guv'nor in?" he inquired of the solitary clerk, a sharp-featured, Jewish-looking young man, who was sitting on a high stool with his hands in his pockets, apparently unburdened with stress of work. The youth nodded, and jerked his head backwards. "Something's up!" he remarked laconically; "he's on the rampage." Mr. Benjamin passed on without remark, and entered the inner office.
