There was something of the sailor's rig in his costume." No sooner had Billy gone, leaving Maddoc alone with Hinter, than the lawyer's manner underwent a lightning change. His big face lost its jovial look and the bushy eyebrows contracted to sinister juts on his puckered brow, as the cold eyes beneath them probed the man before him. As he passed up the aisle something strange and mysterious seemed to draw his eyes toward a certain spot.
