Both had very singular faces; very odd wigs, very much pulled over their brows; and very large cravats, very much raised above their chins.

Besides this, each had a large black patch over his right eye, and a very queer twist at the left side of his mouth, so that if their object had been disguise, they could not have adopted better precautions.

Mrs.Wood thought them both remarkably plain, but Mr.Smith decidedly the plainest of the two.

His complexion was as blue as a sailor's jacket, and though Mr.Jackson had one of the ugliest countenances imaginable, he had a very fine set of teeth.

That was something in his favour.
