to be
observed
in the
skins of
red-haired
people. It
belonged
to a
red-haired
person—a
youth of

hair was
cropped as

closest
stubble;
who had
hardly any
eyebrows,
and no
eyelashes,
and eyes
of a
red-brown,
so
unsheltered
and
unshaded,
that I
remember
wondering
how he
went to
sleep. He
was
high-shouldered
and bony;
dressed in
decent
black,
with a
white wisp
