With his long, white, nervous fingers he adjusted the delicate needle and rolled back his left shirtcuff. For some little time his eyes rested thoughtfully upon the sinewy forearm and wrist, all dotted and scarred with innumerable puncture-marks.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
