He is a tall young man, about thirty-two, yet looking younger, with a somewhat sallow complexion, large dreamy brown eyes, and very fine sleek black hair. He wears neither moustache nor whiskers, principally for the very good reason that Nature has forgotten to supply them. For which perhaps he should be grateful, as it would have been a cruel thing to hide the excessive beauty of his mouth and chin and perfectly-turned jaw.

The inference is full of saddest meaning. Even Geoffrey feels the tears rise unbidden to his eyes. "No hope!" says Mona, with terrible despair in her voice: "then I have killed him.
