His eyebrowswere very massive, almost meeting over the nose, and with bushy hair thatseemed to curl in its own profusion. The mouth, so far as I could see it underthe heavy moustache, was fixed and rather cruel-looking, with peculiarly sharpwhite teeth; these protruded over the lips, whose remarkable ruddiness showedastonishing vitality in a man of his years." - Chapter 2
