Abstract
He was a tall and rather loosely-built man. When he turned round he did it with a swinging movement and all his clothing whirled around with him. That was because he was very thin, and there was not really so much inside his clothing as one at first imagined. His face was rather short, his head was very round, and had an instant impression of blackness, his hair thatched it about minutely, growing very close and short. His eyes were coloured like dull agates, his lips, rather small and pensive, were continually drawing deeply inwards, while he poked his chin outwards, and this he fingered perpetually in an abstraction that was packed with thought.
