The slouchy appearance which he is said to have presented on other occasions was conspicuously absent here.

As he stood before the vast audience, towering above every person around him, he was the centre of attraction.

I can never forget how he looked, as he cast his eyes over the crowd before beginning his argument.

His face was long and sallow; high cheek bones; large, deep-set eyes, of a grayish-brown color, shaded by heavy eyebrows; high but not broad forehead; large, well-formed head, covered with an abundance of coarse black hair, worn rather long, through which he frequently passed his fingers; arms and legs of unusual length; head inclined slightly forward, which made him appear stoop-shouldered.

His features betrayed neither excitement nor anxiety.
