Matzai laid out Richard's clothes, down to pin and puff tie.

Richard shook off his bathrobe skin and shone forth in a sleeveless undershirt and a pair of those cotton trousers, cut short above the knee, which dramatic usage ascribes to fishermen and buccaneers.
As Richard stood erect, shoulders wide as a viking's, chest arched like the deck of a whale-back, he might have been a model for the Farnese Hercules, if that demigod were slimmed down by training and ten years off his age.

He of Farnese should be about forty, if one may go by looks, while Richard was but thirty.

Also, Richard's arms, muscled to the wrists and as long as a Pict's, would have been out of drawing from standpoints of ancient art.

One must rescue Richard's head; it was not that nubbin of a head which goes with the Farnese one.
