Father Vassily came and without opening his mouth sat down in a far corner of the room; and he was un- _concerned and still, as though there had been no out- cry, no madness, no terror. And his eyes were invisible ; but under the heavy arch of his eyebrows yawned the immobile black of two sunken spots, and his haggard face resembled a skeleton's skull.
