.....
“Spaniards, you say, Ethan? And what have they to do with us, or the Wingates for that matter?”
Mistrust flicked Ethan’s face like a whip and Fred at once ordered him another draught of beer. Suddenly a winning sweetness lightened Ethan’s ascetic features; twenty years ago, in his young manhood, his had been the almost feminine grace and beauty of a Castilian matador. There were people who vividly remembered his coming down from the north of the island, in a canoe, as though out of space, and marrying Marie Trumbull, the Scotch trader’s girl. Marie had disappeared last year, alive or dead nobody knew, and since then it was a question in Cove minds as to whether or not Ethan had once changed his clothes.
