Author Description

Excerpt from Mammon Of these the elder was evidently the host. A slight grey man, rather bent, with a wide, thin-lipped mouth and keen, steel-blue eyes, his features well cut, the forehead a little narrow. His hair was nearly white, and his expression somewhat grim. He had just cut a slice from a delicately browned loin of mutton which he passed to his companion, while the attendant was carrying a soup tureen out of the room.
