"A long oval face, with features that were too delicate-a nose too narrow, eyes round with round eyebrows and a full cupid's-bow mouth that made me look as if I were a twelve-year-old girl. No huge eyes, no high cheekbones, no rugged jaw. Just very pretty, yes too pretty. My short curly hair he'd rendered in thick swirls. Of course the cameo said nothing of my height of six fout four inches, that my hair was jet black, my eyes blue, or of the fact that I was slight of build. And it was my height that told people that in spite of my all too precious face and feminine hands, I really was a young man."
