A very large fleshy nose and weak-looking pale blue eyes, the slightly inflamed lids being almost destitute of eye-lashes.

He had large fat feet cased in soft calfskin boots, with drab-coloured spats.

His overcoat, heavily trimmed with sealskin, reached just below the knees, and although the trousers were very wide they were filled by the fat legs within, the shape of the calves being distinctly perceptible.

Even as the feet seemed about to burst the uppers of the boots, so the legs appeared to threaten the trousers with disruption.

This man was so large that his figure completely filled up the doorway, and as he came in he stooped slightly to avoid damaging the glittering silk hat on his head.
