To him his aquare face seems Solemn and said and inscription at the square base in some foreign tongue illegible. The strong wind has no effect on his clothes and he sits there with one hand on his knee and other pointing at the speaker. The speaker is so afraid that he can neither stay nor go and wonders what the stone gentleman has to say to him.
