added, that his nose, though handsomely, was rather thickly shaped, that
his teeth were white and regular, and his complexion colourless, as good
an idea perhaps as it is in the power of mere words to convey may be
conceived of his features.

In height he was, as he himself has informed us, five feet eight inches
and a half, and to the length of his limbs he attributed his being such a
good swimmer. His hands were very white, and--according to his own notion
of the size of hands as indicating birth--aristocratically small. The
lameness of his right foot, though an obstacle to grace, but little
impeded the activity of his movements; and from this circumstance, as well
as from the skill with which the foot was disguised by means of long
trousers, it would be difficult to conceive a defect of this kind less
obtruding itself as a deformity; while the diffidence which a constant
consciousness of the infirmity gave to his first approach and address made,
in him, even lameness a source of interest.
