The priest was Italian, dark and small, lean as with fasting or with a wasting hunger not of this world, and his hands were as small and slender as a woman's. But his eyes! They were cunning and trustless, narrow- slitted and heavy-lidded, at one and the same time as sharp as a ferret's and as indolent as a basking lizard's.
One thing, though, was sure as rain: This particular Gorman had never been a Gorman born. Not the blackest of the "Black Irish," not the most brunette of brunette Welshmen ever had a skin of that peculiar brownish pallor, like clear water in a cypress swamp, or eyes like the slitted pair looking out obliquely from this man's head.
This, with Anthony's penknife, she slitted and ripped several times lengthwise, till she had obtained a yard or two of practicable tether. "Now, first, we must make him a collar," she said, measuring off what she deemed ribbon sufficient for that purpose.
Though the baked sand burned torture into her knees and hands, she couldn't rise. It took all her strength not to fall further. Her eyes closed and everything swirled in immense circles.

To the occasional passerby he bowed coldly and with formality.
"All right," Muller said. "I hope you've got a good explanation, before I decide what to do with you." Grundy's eyes were slitted, as if he'd been taking some of the Venus drugs.
