His nose is as long and as pointed as an extinguisher, and his jaws like nutcrackers.
"The Man-Wolf and Other Tales"
Emile Erckmann and Alexandre Chatrian
This Englishman was about fifty years old; his forehead was quite bald, and of a conical shape; beneath this forehead, surmounted by eyebrows like parenthesis marks, glittered large, green eyes, remarkably round and staring, and set very close to a hooked nose, extremely sharp and prominent; a chin like that on the old fashioned nutcrackers was half-hidden in a broad and ample white cravat, as stiffly-starched as the round-cornered shirt-collar, which nearly touched his ears.
"The Wandering Jew, Book VIII."
Eugene Sue
