He had no shirt-collar visible, although a loose rusty stock revealed the whole of his brown neck.

His hair, long, thin, fair, and yet a good deal mingled with grey, straggled about over an uncommonly high forehead, which had somehow the neglected and ruinous look of an old bare tower no ivy had beautified.

His ears stood far out from his great head.

His nose refuses to be described.

His lips were plentiful and loose; his chin was not worth mentioning; his eyes were rather large, beautifully formed, bright, and blue.
