Challis was ushered into Crashaw's study on his arrival, and found the rector in company with another man introduced as Mr. Forman a jolly-looking, high-complexioned man of sixty or so, with a great quantity of white hair on his head and face; he was wearing an old-fashioned morning-coat and grey trousers that were noticeably too short for him.
The squarely-made, high-complexioned, handsome Averil Ward was entirely gone.
