She was a woman OF about thirty
years of age, of German or Swedish
nationality, married to a Russian civil
engineer. She was not a beauty, but
her face was full of charm, her eyes

mouth than most women can impart
who possess tireless tongue. She
could be gay or sad, pathetic, pleading
or imperious at will.

white, and had a trick of clinging ca

was magnetism in her touch which
drew men to her as moolight draws
the sea.
