His head was well shaped and well set upon his shoulders, his height was six feet two if an inch, and he carried himself with the erectness of a man accustomed to an outdoor life.

He was well dressed, and for this reason I surmised that he was the possessor of good manners.

His companion was as much below the middle height as he was above it.

His was a peculiar countenance resembling that of a boy when seen at a distance, and that of an old man when one was close to him.

His eyes, as I have already said, were small, and they were set deep in his head.
