One was a shaky and quick-eyed Swede (...); one was a tall bronzed cowboy (...); one was a little silent man from the East, who didn't look it, and didn't announce it." ("The Blue Hotel" by Stephen Crane) http://www.4literature.net/Stephen_Crane/Blue_Hotel/ Could you please tell me how a shaky and quick-eyed man looks like, and what the author means by "who didn't look it, and didn't announce it?" Thank you so much in advance. Cadzao Cadzao Joined on Wed, Sep 6 2006 Full Member 305 Literature
