[Illustration]
I have it planned exactly what you look like--very satisfactorily--until
I reach the top of your head, and then I _am_ stuck. I can’t decide
whether you have white hair or black hair or sort of sprinkly gray
hair or maybe none at all.
Here is your portrait:
But the problem is, shall I add some hair?
Would you like to know what color your eyes are? They’re gray, and
your eyebrows stick out like a porch roof (beetling, they’re called
in novels) and your mouth is a straight line with a tendency to turn
down at the corners. Oh, you see, I know! You’re a snappy old thing
with a temper.
