Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Silver Pin<br/><br/>Evidently a soldier, a man of thirty-three or so, he had a noticeable personality, though it would have been hard to say precisely in what the attrae tion lay. With a keen, though good-humored face, aquiline nose, strong chin, small dark mustache, and square jaw, he was no more than merely good looking; yet there were few of the pretty women in his neighborhood who had not glanced more than once in his direction, and been slightly disappointed that his eyes wandered so seldom. Perhaps their interest lay precisely in this care lessness to their proximity, or more probably in an indescribable air of reserved force and readiness for emergency which was his, an air which seemed to say that, were something untoward to occur in that crowded room, he would be the man to turn to, and probably the man who would assume command.
