Question

“Into his handsome face the bitter waters of captivity had worn; but, he covered up their tracks with a determination so strong, that he held the mastery of them even in his sleep. A more remarkable face in its quiet, resolute and guarded struggle with an unseen assailant was not to be beheld in all the wide dominions of sleep, that night.” What does this quotation reveal about the doctor’s character?

Answer 1

The lines "the bitter waters of captivity had worn" show how the doctor has been through many tough situations and problems, but the lines "he covered up their tracks with a determination " show how he does not want to show how much he actually has been throught. Hope it helped :)
