He was simply dressed in a light blue woolen tunic.

A handkerchief was bound about his head.

His forehead was very white and half hidden by loose, curling black locks that escaped with boyish negligence from his head-dress.

His eyes were black, his cheeks tanned but colorless, his mouth mirthful and red but hard in its outlines.

Clean-shaven, lithe, supple, he did not appear to be more than twenty-two.
