into the face of the man who sat

and stern, was redeemed by grey
eyes that lighted now with adj

Of fair womanhood that he gazed

and iron-grey, nearly white at the

out for hers across the lowered
table top. But before they
reached her the hand was gone.

deep and strong as preachers.

hall to the door. She held out
his hat to him.

down the long gray hair, curling
