And next to him, but a proportionately made man, ruddy and of a fair countenance, was Jock Coan that they called the Fir Cone. He was but six feet five, and a child beside Lammitter and Vowle.

Five feet and a few odd inches may have been his real height.

"But I am longer." An' they sent a whistle through the night an' howkit out Sandy Vowle from his bit bungalow, and he came in an' stood by the side o' Jock, an' the pair just fillit the room to the ceiling-cloth.
