possible for man to be like a woman.
He had reached the age of 40 and was
still bachelor, love trouble in early
life having caused him to eschew the
sex. Mother told me all about it one

you may be sure she did not spare the

he regarded me intently, measuring
me FROM head to foot, his strange eyes
