His face was short and square, with a short nose and a short beard, and he wore the usual gold-rimmed spectacles of his day. His manner of speech was gentle and humorous, with the remains of a Yorkshire accent, and so measured that one could tell where each mark of punctuation was due to fall. (R. Garnett, Constance Garnett, 1991, 48)"
