Alter a brief search I found lion seat

light Woe eyes, that looked hard and
cruel, with a sanctimoniousness per

teen prejudiced, lint his lace didn't nti.
press me any more favorably than his
vo•cc had done.
A little pale-tared woman ant on his
right hand, whom I rezognuzed at once
as his companion the night before. She
held in her lap a child two or three
years old, and was rather pretty than
otherwise, although her eves were red
as if from continued weeping.
But the face which chiefly attracted
my attention was that of the woman
on his left hand Her complexion, in
its unearthly pallor. resembled that of
a corpse, her lips were livid and her
eyes deep sunken, and with dark cir

pressionless. It was a face, that at the

She, tun k u. as well as the other woman,
