Pale ire, envy and despair [xxxx xxxxxx?xx] 144 126 146 1 136 That Claggart's——//—— figure was not

moulded, has already been said. Of these
favorable points he seemed not insensible,
for he was not only neat but careful in
his dress. But the form of Billy Budd
was heroic; and if his face was without
the intellectual look of the pallid
Claggart's, not the less was it lit
illuminated , like his, from within,
though from a different source. The bonfire
in his heart made luminous the
ruddiness rose-tan in his cheek.
