Excerpt from Under the Arch

The voice that spoke these words was subdued, and the face of the pretty fair-haired young woman was very grave. Opposite to her sat the man to whom the question was addressed; a tall, sunburnt, broad-shoul dered man, who would everywhere be recognized as an Englishman, with crisp, curly hair, and the general appearance of having just come out of his bath. He was eating his breakfast in silence. He too looked subdued and solemn.
