He was a hideous little man with eyes like pins, shaggy eyebrows, a nose that swelled at the end and was pinched by the sharpest of pince-nez, cheeks that hung white and loose except when he was hungry or angry, and then they were tight and red, a little body rather dandily dressed with a flowered waistcoat, a white stock, a skirted coat and pepper-and-salt trousers-and last of all, tiny feet, of which he was inordinately proud and with which, like Agag, he always walked delicately.

Hugh Walpole

"Sweethearts at Home"
S. R. Crockett

"The House by the Church-Yard"
J. Sheridan Le Fanu
