Suddenly, he was caught by the glance of another pair of eyes; those eyes, protruding and blue, stared with a kind of cunning mischief above a thin, crooked nose and were turned away in an instant. They gave Schelton the impression that he was being judged, mocked, seduced, and initiated into something. (Quote from the beginning of the novel)
