He is long and lean and lithe, with sloping shoulders, deep chest, and narrow hips,- long-nosed, and with wide nostrils like a hunter. The head has a wilful challenging tilt, and the whole movement is loose, falling easily into a long rolling walk or lounge against a building, suggesting rather a sporting man or a serious prospector doing a queer job in a strange country in his own empric way.
