There was neither light, nor hope, nor desire, in their hard-lined faces, nothing but a flaccid and de- jected helplessness, in lieu of resignation; as if -they 234 3ir WINTER IN CUBA.
were conscious that tliey were born into the world for this and nothing else, and blindly accepted their hard lot, without being able to understand it. Even in the little children, this characteristic seemed as perfectly developed as in their elders, oppressing one with a sense of something dolefully amiss and ou...t-of-joint in all the conditions of humanity.
