Harran came with him, wearing a cut-away suit of black.
He was undeniably handsome, young and fresh looking, his cheeks highly coloured, quite the finest looking of all the younger men; blond, strong, with that certain courtliness of manner that had always made him liked.

Her light brown hair that yet retained so much of its brightness was transfixed by a high, shell comb, very Spanish.

But the look of uneasiness in her large eyes--the eyes of a young girl--was deepening every day.
