He was tall, and his head seemed a disproportionate culmination to his meagre body, it was so large and massively featured.

"You must be tired," said that lady, "sit in the rocking chair and rest yourself. Johnny," to a pale, sharp featured child, "come and bid the schoolmistress good evening." The child came shyly up to the young teacher, and, as she held out her hand, seemed re-assured by her kindly smile. "I suppose you know it ain't none of ourn," said Mrs. Brier, "its only a boy we took to bring up.
Peckham had assured the desolated father with a manner subtly suggesting both the profoundest sympathy and the prophetic glories of a juridical revenge in which the name of McGurk would be upon every lip and the picture of the deceased, his family, and the home in which they dwelt would be featured on the front page of every journal.

The women tie their long black hair in a knot, which hangs down behind, being smaller featured than the men, with very small feet.
At the present time, the artisans of Trĕnggânu are largely engaged in making exact imitations of the local currency, to the exceeding dolor of the Sultân, and with no small profit to themselves. In appearance, the Trĕnggânu Malay is somewhat larger boned, broader featured, and more clumsily put together than is the typical Pahang Malay.
