“He would examine with minute care, and sometimes with a monstrous and terrible delight, the hideous lines that seared the wrinkling forehead, or crawled around the heavy sensual mouth, wondering sometimes which were the more horrible, the signs of sin or the signs of age.”

Oscar Wilde is a bit long winded but such were the times. Thoroughly enjoyed this read. I’d forgotten how much I love gothic horror classics.
