Question

12 of 17
in a cultivated voice marked by a slight accent that gave it added precision and deliberateness, he said: \it is a very great pleasure and honour to welcome mr. sanger rainsford, the celebrated hunter, to my home.\
automatically rainsford shook the mans hand.
\ive read your book about hunting snow leopards in tibet, you see,\ explained the man. \i am general zaroff.\
rainsfords first impression was that the man was singularly handsome; his second was that there was an original, almost bizarre quality about the generals face. he was a tall man past middle age, for his hair was a vivid white; but his thick eyebrows and pointed military moustache were as black as the night from which rainsford had come. his eyes, too, were black and very bright. he had high cheek bones, a sharp - cut nose, a spare, dark face, the face of a man used to giving orders, the face of an aristocrat. turning to the giant in uniform, the general made a sign. the giant put away his pistol, saluted, withdrew.
