This fellow looks like an executed postboy of other days, cut down from the gallows too soon, and restored and preserved by express diabolical agency. Numbers five, six, and seven, are hulking, idle, slouching young men, patched and shabby, too short in the sleeves and too tight in the legs, slimily clothed, foul-spoken, repulsive wretches inside and out.
But his guide, with whom familiarity with the proletarians had, in a great measure, bred indifference, hurried him away to Little Bourke Street, where the narrowness of the thoroughfare, with the high buildings on each side, the dim light of the sparsely scattered gas-lamps, and the few ragged-looking figures slouching along, formed a strong contrast to the brilliant and crowded scene they had just left.
He was a ragged slouching creature with a splotched and bloated face half hidden by a bristling red beard. He glanced at Gilmore for an uncertain instant out of a pair of small shifty eyes. "It's murder, ain't it, boss?" he added. "No doubt about that, Joe!" rejoined the gambler. "I suppose it was robbery?" said the other man, who had not spoken before.

All the world was going home to supper, and Rhona felt strangely that she was now an exile torn by the roots from her warm life to go on a lonely adventure against the powers of darkness.

But this man who was usually austere and always unafraid, was feeling a strange terror of the debased and slouching figure before him.
