Excerpt from The Head of MedusaAt the extreme end of this enclosure, a man of about five-and-forty, dressed in a rough gray shoot ing-coat, stood leaning against a tree and smoking.

He had been one of the first to arrive that afternoon.He stood facing toward the Trinita de Monti, look ing down the road. He could see each carriage a long distance off he watched each new arrival with the same quiet intentness of observation. Once or twice, when a closed landau passed him, he even moved forward sufficiently to look into its windows as it drove by, but his curiosity had thus far been rewarded only by the sight of some portly dowager wrapped in furs, or, as in one instance, by meeting the oblique, impassible glance of a priest.This persistency had ended by attracting the atten tion of the man who stood nearest to him, whose first look of inquiry had rapidly deepened into a continu ous stare. For a few moments he seemed to hesi tate, but, presently turning, he asked his neighbor for a light. The Englishman took a box of matches from his pocket, and handed them to him without speaking. His neighbor lighted his cigar deliber ately, and then, raising his hat.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
