They were on a back seat in the
long courtroom-SQuint Rodaine and
his son. chalkier, yet blacker than
ever, while between them sat an old
woman with white hair which strag-
gled about her cheeks, a woman with
deep-set eyes, whose hands wandered
now and then vaguely before her; n
wrinkled woman, fldgeting about on
her seat, watching with craned neck
those who stuffed their way within
the already cranmed room, her eyes
never still, her lips moving constant
