No two people could have formed a stronger contrast the yacht's captain, fair-bearded, with the features of a Viking the yacht's owner, dark, alert, with a certain French finesse about him that gave a strange charm to a personality that otherwise might have been merely fantastic. Suddenly he laughed. "Do you know, Larpent, I often think to myself what odd tricks Fate plays?
From earliest times when men first sailed the seas this coast has taken heavy toll of ships and of human lives, and in the race that it has bred, necessarily there has been little room for weaklings; their men are even to this day of the type of the old Vikings from whom perhaps they descend fair-bearded and strong, blue-eyed and open of countenance.
A fair-bearded, red-faced, blue-eyed, grinning giant got out of the train and catching sight of us ran up and laid a couple of great sun-glazed hands on my shoulders. "Hullo! hullo! hullo!" he shouted, and gripping Adrian in his turn, shouted it again. He made such an uproar that people stuck wondering heads out of the carriage windows.
The Boodah ran up the signal: "Stop!" Those who understood rubbed their eyes: it was like a vision at high noon; they could not believe. At that news the Captain, a handsome fair-bearded man, rushed like a madman from pilot-house to bridge, and the startled passengers saw his lighted eyes.

As she rounded the curve of the stair, she snatched a red rose from her breast and threw it down to her worshippers below.
After all this time; walking with a fair beard...." "Auntie! you'll kill me! A fair beard...." "I was going to say," said Aunt Juley severely, "a fair-bearded gentleman. And not a day older; she was always so pretty," she added, with a sort of lingering apology. "Oh! tell us about her, Auntie," cried Imogen; "I can just remember her. She's the skeleton in the family cupboard, isn't she?
The Princess started slightly and then smiled, reflecting that she had never noticed the resemblance between Ugo's tone and poor Giovanni's. Doctor Pieri entered first, tall, grave, fair-bearded, and he was looking back to be sure that the orderlies were careful.
Everyone was full of admiration for the Prince's never-failing vigour and indefatigable power of work; his tall, slender, Teutonic form, and fair-bearded face, with the quiet, clear sailor's eyes, never failed to impress all who came in contact with him.
