The girl was looking toward the house, out of which her mother had just emerged, and did not see the menace in his regard; but Maurice noted the gaze, and felt enraged at all it implied.

"What is your name, man?" demanded Jen, commencing in the orthodox manner. "I can't exactly describe it. A rich, heavy, deadly sort of thing, likely, I should think, to dull the sharpest senses." Groans of relief sounded from the side of the room whence the voice had come, and there was a general giggle. "Have they anything to do with the death of Maurice?".
