two daughters and two sons Her countenauce

eyes, and full jet black beard and mustach. His
countenance is MT remarkable, though far from
being what would be called handsome. He wears
an ordinary dress black frcck coat dark trousers
and vest, and is not in any manner o person to
attract attention. There is full development

oppressive look to his eyes.
