"As much as that," he commented indifferently.
There was something about him I did not fancy, a sort of condescension, as though he were better than those about him.

They say that we Virginians have a way of reserving that right to ourselves; and I suppose that a family of clean strain may perhaps become proud after generations of independence and comfort and freedom from care.

None the less I was forced to admit this newcomer to the class of gentlemen.

He stood as a gentleman, with no resting or bracing with an arm, or crossing of legs or hitching about, but balanced on his legs easily--like a fencer or boxer or fighting man, or gentleman, in short.
His face, as I now perceived, was long and thin, his chin square, although somewhat narrow.

His mouth, too, was narrow, and his teeth were narrow, one of the upper teeth at each side like the tooth of a carnivore, longer than its fellows.
