His light hair was very long and silky, coming down over his coat.

His beard had been prepared in holy land, and was patriarchal.
He never shaved and rarely trimmed it.

It was glossy, soft, clean, and altogether not unprepossessing.

It was such that ladies might desire to reel it off and work it into their patterns in lieu of floss silk.

His complexion was fair and almost pink; he was small in height and slender in limb, but well-made; and his voice was of peculiar sweetness.
In manner and dress he was equally remarkable.
