Chapter XVIII
Wherein Freckles refuses Love Without Knowledge of Honorable Birth, and the Angel Goes in Quest of it Freckles lay on a flat pillow, his body immovable in a plaster cast, his maimed arm, as always, hidden. His greedy gaze fastened at once on the Angel's face. She crossed to him with light step and bent over him with infinite tenderness. Her heart ached at the change in his appearance. He seemed so weak, heart hungry, so utterly hopeless, so alone.
