So, Bellamy cracked a sheepish, charming smile, only a little embarrassed to be caught trying to do better than an ordinary beat cop or detective. "It was Dr. Rosier's idea," he admitted. "She did me the good turn of recommending it the first time I... roughed myself up on the clock... a few months ago. Without it, I'm certain I'd look more like a common thug myself, most of the time, than a Marshal."
"Have I done it very badly?" he asked, turning his cheek so she could look. His expression melded into something between a grin and a wince. "The best I could figure out was to put it on my face, and even that seemed a little, well, queer, if you'll pardon my saying so. If you want to... tell me how to make it less noticeable... I certainly wouldn't complain."
