plans and sketches that were spread before him. His fine,
fair face was drawn with his intense absorption in his task,
and the heavy lines on his forehead showed he was puzzled
over something regarding it. Often he would turn from his
plans to a large book, and run his hand down a list of
figures, frowning heavily as if[2] their volume annoyed him.
After a time, he pushed the book and maps from him, and
running his hand wearily through his hair, leaned back in
his chair, with half-closed eyes and irresolute mouth and
chin. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
