He has thick curling brown hair and black eyebrows now, and his whiskers are of the deepest purple. He was light-haired and bald in 1815, and stouter in the person and in the limbs, which especially have shrunk very much of late. Ill-natured people say that his chest is all wool, and that his hair, because it never grows, is a wig.
