however, in that his face was rather narrow than broad.

"His voice was particularly clear and 'carrying,' and every syllable could
be heard. I ought to have added to my description that his eyes were blue,
bright, very expressive, and his smile, not very often seen, peculiarly
sweet and engaging. He was decidedly eccentric. At one time, in dirty

V., he added, 'I shall not introduce these gentlemen to you by name, as it
