A fool has no grip of this sort of business; and a clever man who does not go about among his clients, and know more than a little of their affairs, is worse than a fool. Reggie was young-looking, clean-shaved, with a twinkle in his eye, and a head that nothing short of a gallon of the Gunners' Madeira could make any impression on.
Standing a little in front of the rest of the villagers was the head man, swarthy-faced, clean-shaved Kusis; beside him Tulpe, his wife, a graceful young woman of about five-and-twenty, and her husband's little daughter by a former wife.
He was a man with an immense girth of chest, a rugged, clean-shaved face of mahogany colour, and two blunt tufts of iron-grey, thick, wiry hairs on his upper lip. He had been pearler, wrecker, trader, whaler too, I believe; in his own words anything and everything a man may be at sea, but a pirate.
"And a good one," answered Mrs. Goldmark. "He was one of our people I saw his nose and his eyes. And I was astonished to see so poor-looking a man have a latch-key to so grand a mansion as that! he was dressed in poor clothes, and looked dirty and mean." "A bearded dark man?" suggested Purdie. "Not at all," said Mrs. Goldmark. "A clean-shaved man though dark he might be."
His tread was heavy and he could make way for himself. "Dr. Brownson was then in the very prime of manhood. He was a handsome man, tall, stately, and of grave manners. His face was clean-shaved.

Could he be a Jesuit in disguise? Jesuits were clean-shaved and well-informed. Or was it only his faculty of general agreeableness that enabled him to attract the old caretaker at the drill-shed as he had attracted the schoolboy in the train?
At the boy's cry that yonder came Papa, Joe turned and started toward the barn. "Where you goin'?" demanded Tommy. "He'll beat me up," said Joe. While the car hummed up the avenue the two stood close together, Tommy's face earnest as he argued and reassured. The car stopped near the garage. A tall, clean-shaved man in palm beach clothes and panama hat came toward them.
Scrupulously neat in dress, always as clean-shaved as an old-fashioned gentleman of the world, with manners and conversation that showed him to have belonged to a refined and polished circle, he was evidently out of place as a private soldier in a company of reckless and none-too-refined young Illinois troopers, but he never availed himself of any of the numerous opportunities offered to change his associations.
But the Seigneur and then the Cure spoke for her, and so did I at last." He paused and plaintively admired himself in the mirror. He was grateful that he had been clean-shaved that morning, and he was content to catch the citrine odour of the bergamot upon his hair.
Major Norton was a very ordinary-looking man, more elderly in appearance than his years warranted. He was bald and clean-shaved but for scraps of side-whiskers that gave him a resemblance to the traditional stage-lawyer of amateur theatricals, a likeness increased by his heavy and prosy manner.
