Knowing the necessities to which poverty impels men, and studying with attention the impulses that grow up amid despair and hunger, it sees motives through a mist of intervening circumstances that would baffle less subtle observers, and can trace the tortuous windings of crime where no other sight could find the clew.
There is no false juvenility there is no trace of dandyism in the plain and quiet clothes, in the hair sparsely sprinkled with snow, in the mature and goodly face.
'Are you there? he called up to the deck from the impenetrable darkness. As he spoke Purvis appeared at the top of the little gangway, dressed in his clerkly suit and stiff hat.
