Ku-Klip was a stout man and a short man.

He had his sleeves rolled above his elbows, showing muscular arms, and he wore a leathern apron that covered all the front of him, and was so long that Woot was surprised he didn't step on it and trip whenever he walked.

And Ku-Klip had a gray beard that was almost as long as his apron, and his head was bald on top and his ears stuck out from his head like two fans.

Over his eyes, which were bright and twinkling, he wore big spectacles.

It was easy to see that the tinsmith was a kind hearted man, as well as a merry and agreeable one.
