When Thea entered the gate, her professor leaned his spade against the white post that supported the turreted
face with
his shirt-
sleeve; someway he never managed to have a handkerchief about him. Wunsch was short and stocky,
bear-like about his
shoulders. His face was a dark, bricky red, deeply creased rather than wrinkled, and the skin was like
band-he wore a brass collar
button but no collar. His hair was cropped close; Iron-gray bristles on a bullet-like head. His
and bloodshot. He
had a coarse, scornful mouth, and Irregular, yellow teeth, much worn at the edges. His hands were sq
clean, but always alive
, Impatient, even sympathetic.
"MORGEN," he greeted his pupil in a businesslike way, put on a black alpaca coat, and conducted her at once to th
sitting-room.
(from Song of the Lark by Willa Cather)
