He must have been born that way not even being a plumber had cheered him up.

Treachery, or, perhaps worse, a kind of poised and poisonous mental judo? Nelsen looked at the other man, who wore a Tovie armor. Tall, starvation-lean. Horse-faced, with a lugubrious, bumpkinish smile that almost had a whimsical appeal. "Honest I just picked up Igor which ain't his real name in the course of my travels," Tiflin offered lightly. "He used to be a comic back in Eurasia.

It lay apparently afloat on the sluggish, faintly discolored tide a placid, horse-faced, shovel-nosed head, with bumpy holes for ears and immense round eyes of a somewhat anxious mildness.

The destroyer of all, named Yama, and Vayu, and the horse-faced Agni, leave some remnant behind, but Dhananjaya inflamed with wrath never doth so.
