THE PERSON INSIDE
" All sorts of funny things show the onlooker what sort of person lives inside, and how he has gone about the world," writes G. M. Ramsay. "Take the way he Walks; there is the purposeful walk, the lounging walk; the walk apologetic, the conceited walk; the sloppy walk, the athletic walk; the quiek flitting walk; the walk of the blusterer whose feet plant themselves in the lives of other people; his very boots are aggresslve. Apart from special walks such as thaj; of the sailor or ploughman, we recognise our friends from afar by their walk long before we can Seo their faccs.

Ramsay, in "Coniracles in Adventure."
