Excerpt from Major Weir
The voice stopped Short, with a tremor the more pathetic for being instantly suppressed. For an instant the raised right hand maintained position, then it fell; eyes of a humid hazel, set in a florid countenance, looked out on the group breaking into motion beside him, eyes that turned from face to face as though gleaning a harvest of sympathy ripe there for him. The next moment the tall dark man had bent with a kindness of manner to listen to the words with which a little middle-aged woman had pressed forward, catching at the hand that held the staff.
