Charlie had often seen the king at a distance, but never before so close as to be able to notice his face particularly.

He was a tall young fellow, thin and bony.

His face was long, and his forehead singularly high and somewhat projecting.

This was the most noticeable feature of his face.

His eyes were quick and keen, his face clean-shaven, and, had it not been for the forehead and eyes, would have attracted no attention.
