He fronted Woodseer with square shoulders and wide knees, an elbow on one, a fist on the other, engaged in what he termed the 'prodding of his eel, or 'nicking of his man, a method of getting straight at the riddle of the fellow by the test of how long he could endure a flat mute stare and return look for look unblinking.
