Such an expression of unhappiness was enough by itself to make one's eyes slide above the paper's edge to the poor woman's face -- insignificant without that look, almost a symbol of human destiny with it. Life's what you see in people's eyes; life's what they learn, and, having learnt it, never, though they seek to hide it, cease to be aware of -- what? That life's like that, it seems. Five faces opposite -- five mature faces -- and the knowledge in each face. Strange, though, how people want to conceal it! Marks of reticence are on all those faces: lips shut, eyes shaded, each one of the five doing something to hide or stultify his knowledge. One smokes; another reads; a third checks entries in a pocket book; a fourth stares at the map of the line framed opposite; and the fifth -- the terrible thing about the fifth is that she does nothing at all.
