"'DESCRIPTION OF THE CHEVALIER DE MORANGES."

"But I only saw him for an instant," said Angelique, "and I can't

large, lips compressed, forehead high, face oval, complexion pale, no
beard.'

"Now another line, and in capitals:
"'SPECIAL MARKS.'

"'A small mole on the neck behind the right ear, a smaller mole on the
left hand.'
