Her
face
fell
,
however
,
when
she
saw
that
I
was
a
stranger
,
and
she
sat
down
again
and
asked
me
the
object
of
my
visit
.
The
first
impression
left
by
Mrs.
Lyons
was
one
of
extreme
beauty
.
Her
eyes
and
hair
were
of
the
same
rich
hazel
colour
,
and
her
cheeks
,
though
considerably
freckled
,
were
flushed
with
the
exquisite
bloom
of
the
brunette
,
the
dainty
pink
which
lurks
at
the
heart
of
the
sulphur
rose
.
Admiration
was
,
I
repeat
,
the
first
impression
.
But
the
second
was
criticism
.
There
was
something
subtly
wrong
with
the
face
,
some
coarseness
of
expression
,
some
hardness
,
perhaps
,
of
eye
,
some
looseness
of
lip
which
marred
its
perfect
beauty
.
But
these
,
of
course
,
are
after-thoughts
.
At
the
moment
I
was
simply
conscious
that
I
was
in
the
presence
of
a
very
handsome
woman
,
and
that
she
was
asking
me
the
reasons
for
my
visit
.
I
had
not
quite
understood
until
that
instant
how
delicate
my
mission
was
.
"
I
have
the
pleasure
,
"
said
I
,
"
of
knowing
your
father
.
"
It
was
a
clumsy
introduction
,
and
the
lady
made
me
feel
it
.

"
There
is
nothing
in
common
between
my
father
and
me
,
"
she
said
.
"
I
owe
him
nothing
,
and
his
friends
are
not
mine
.
If
it
were
not
for
the
late
Sir
Charles
Baskerville
and
some
other
kind
hearts
I
might
have
starved
for
all
that
my
father
cared
.
"
"
It
was
about
the
late
Sir
Charles
Baskerville
that
I
have
come
here
to
see
you
.
"
The
freckles
started
out
on
the
lady
's
face
.
"
What
can
I
tell
you
about
him
?
"
she
asked
,
and
her
fingers
played
nervously
over
the
stops
of
her
typewriter
.

"
You
knew
him
,
did
you
not
?
"
"
I
have
already
said
that
I
owe
a
great
deal
to
his
kindness
.
If
I
am
able
to
support
myself
it
is
largely
due
to
the
interest
which
he
took
in
my
unhappy
situation
.
"
"
Did
you
correspond
with
him
?
