"It's your own choosing," said the man with the withered arm once more.
I heard the faint sound of a stick and a shambling step on the flags inthe passage outside. The door creaked on its hinges as a second old manentered, more bent, more wrinkled, more aged even than the first. Hesupported himself by the help of a crutch, his eyes were covered bya shade, and his lower lip, half averted, hung pale and pink from hisdecaying yellow teeth.
