At the first glance younger; for his face wasperfectly shaven, without even the moustache which the Saxon courtier, in imitating the Norman, still declined to surrender; and the smoothvisage and bare throat sufficed in themselves to give the air of youthto that dominant and imperious presence. His small skull-cap leftunconcealed his forehead, shaded with short thick hair, uncurled, butblack and glossy as the wings of a raven. It was on that foreheadthat time had set its trace; it was knit into ...a frown over theeyebrows; lines deep as furrows crossed its broad, but not elevatedexpanse. That frown spoke of hasty ire and the habit of sterncommand; those furrows spoke of deep thought and plotting scheme; theone betrayed but temper and circumstance; the other, more noble, spokeof the character and the intellect. The face was square, and theregard lion-like; the mouth--small, and even beautiful in outline--hada sinister expression in its exceeding firmness; and the jaw--vast, solid, as if bound in iron--showed obstinate, ruthless, determinedwill; such a jaw as belongs to the tiger amongst beasts, and theconqueror amongst men; such as it is seen in the effigies of Caesar, of Cortes, of Napoleon.
