“Yes, his hair, as I see it, is dark.”
“And he has a round, smooth-shaven face?” Roberts spoke eagerly, as if he had in mind a distinct personality.
“No,” said Orienta slowly. “No, he has a long, thin face——”
“Can you see his face, then?” Bobsy fairly shot out the words.
“Not his face, but an indication of his profile——”
“Then is he clean-shaven?”
“No, he wears a beard.”
“Oh. A dark beard? A heavy one?”
“Dark, yes. But not heavy.”
