Mivers appeared at Exmundham /totus, teres/, but not /rotundus/, a man of middle height, slender, upright, with well-cut, small, slight features, thin lips, enclosing an excellent set of teeth, even, white, and not indebted to the dentist.

The more a man has in himself, the less others can be to him.
