There was no trace of the Old Fox in his bold, clean-cut features-those had come mostly from his mother's MacKenzie side-nor yet in the broad-shouldered height of him, but somewhere behind those slanted dark blue eyes, I now and then sensed a faint echo of Lord Lovat's deep-set gaze, glittering with interest and sardonic humor.
