Nor, indeed, would I have found much opportunity for private conversation, for only a moment-or two later Klrby Joined him,, and the two remained together, talking earnestly, until the gong called uaell to supper: Across the long table, bare of cloth, the coarse food. served In pewter dishes, I was struck by the drawn, ghastly look in Beaueaire'a face.
