In the cab was a woman, half-collapsed from nervous exhaustion. She bore upon her aquiline and emaciated face the traces of some recent tragedy. Her head hung listlessly upon her breast, but as she raised it and turned her dull eyes upon us I saw that her pupils were dark dots in the centre of the broad gray iris. She was drugged with opium. Her real name was Signora Victor Durando - her husband was the San Pedro minister in London and a nobler man never lived upon earth. He had been shot on the orders of Don Murillo.
aka Signora Victor Durando.
