Excerpt from The Song of Hyacinth, and Other Stories Her husband, bending over her with the official letter crumpled in his hand, saw it, and the twist of pain which wrung his heart for her was like the thrust of a bayonet. He bent lower and kissed her tenderly. His face was very grave - lips tight set under the thick moustache; jaw squared to the facing of odds. The gentler face below bore the same signs, on a softer scale, but with no less determination. The tightening of the sweet lips threw into prominence the traces of her Northern descent, and disturbed the delicate sweep from eye to chin, which was one of Captain Charles's memories of the early days when he used to sit and worship her at a distance.
