Excerpt from A Bar Sinister: A Tale of Love and Adventure
Moors during the conquest of Grenada. At any rate, it is a very sensible custom for a country where winter is unknown, and where ladies dare not venture upon the streets alone without fear of insult, even in the daytime, unless it is in a vehicle, such is the custom which has become an unwritten law.
It was just at sunset on this festival day in the early fall when a man, who had been sauntering along after the manner of one who endeavoured to kill time, came to a pause almost under the cathedral walls of Santa Chiara.
This individual was not a striking-looking person, and certainly no sane observer would ever confuse him with an Apollo. In size he was hardly up to the standard, his figure was a tri¿e angular, and when he removed his hat to 0001 his brow the light of declining day revealed a face some people would have termed positively homely, for it was freckled, and marked by a nose that not even the most generous stretch of imagination could call Grecian.
His redeeming features were a moustache and beard, the latter brought to a point in the French artist style - and his eyes.
