The man's whole aspect was singular and not altogether pleasing: his lean brown figure was bent with age, his thoroughly Egyptian face, with broad cheekbones and outstanding ears, was seamed and wrinkled like oak-bark; his scalp was bare of its last hair, and his face clean-shaved, but for a few tufts of grey hair by way of beard, sprouting from the deep furrows on his cheeks and chin, like reeds from the narrow bed of a brook; the razor could not reach them there, and they gave him an untidy and uncared-for appearance.
He ain't a beauty, any'ow." "Is he tall?" "Tall? Well, no, I shouldn't say tall, Mr. Anne." "Well, then, is he short?" "Short? No, I don't think I would say he was what you would call short. No, not piticular short, sir." "Then, I suppose, he must be about the middle height?" "Well, you might say it, sir; but not remarkable so." I smothered an oath. "Is he clean-shaved?" I tried him again.
A tall man neither broad nor slender half-and-half. Dressed in black from top to toe. A silk hat patent leather boots and muffled to the eyes in a white silk handkerchief." "Could you see his face?" asked Drillford. "Was he clean-shaved, or bearded, or what?" "I tell you he was muffled to the very eyes," answered Hyde.
On his head was a little short cap, somewhat like a tin saucepan in shape, with such a narrow rim that it would drive a man to despair to imagine how he could ever catch hold of it. From underneath this short cap, on both sides, there bulged forth such a forest of curly fluffy hair that the rim of the cap was quite overwhelmed. The face beneath was clean-shaved, except that a moustache, pointed at each end, branched upwards towards the sky like a pair of threatening horns, and the neck was so compressed within a stiffly starched cravat, with two sharply-pointed linen ends, that one could not so much as move one's chin about in it. The body of this gentleman's dark green frock-coat lay just beneath his armpits, but the tails reached to the ground, and the collar was so large that you could scarce distinguish its wearer inside it. He also had double and triple shirt frills, and while the brass buttons of his coat were no larger than cherry pips, the monstrously puffed sleeves rose as high as his shoulders. The wax-yellow waistcoat was almost half concealed by the huge projecting ruffles. The whole costume was set off by hose
The clean-shaved and well-cut profile included the massive foundation of jaw which Bunker had confidently anticipated, and though his words sounded florid in a European ear, they were uttered in a voice that corresponded excellently with this predominant chin.
Burchill since he left and that's six months since." Mr. Halfpenny contrived to give his companion a nudge of the elbow. "Is it, indeed, ma'am?" he said. "Ah! That gentleman who called, now? I think he must be a friend of ours, who didn't know we were coming. What was he like, now, ma'am?" "He was a tallish, fine-built gentleman," answered the landlady. "Fresh-coloured, clean-shaved gentleman.
Hamilton Gregory was clean-shaved except for a silken reddish mustache; his complexion was fair, his hair a shade between red and brown, his eyes blue. His finely marked face and striking bearing were stamped with distinction and grace. It was strange to Fran that he did not once glance in her direction.
Tom wore a handsome white cravat beneath his narrow, clean-shaved chin, which was decorated on either side with whiskers whose fiery hue made Killigrew's seem but tawny.
He was leaning there, looking intently down; his tall broad figure made the people on each side of him seem insignificant. The clean-shaved, square-cut face, with those almost epileptic, forceful eyes, had a stillness and intensity beside which the neighbouring faces seemed to disappear.
He strode on uncompromisingly, and his clean-shaved face was set in rigid lines. Those who saw him pass would have said that there went an ascetic bent on judgment. Many who did know him, and who ordinarily would have saluted him, sure of a friendly greeting, were repelled by his stern face and determined air, and made no sign. The father had something on his mind.
