Hell! His beard grows fast as blazes, like a damp wicket in springtime sun, green, and Rachel's skin is so fine, his bristles can score her red the way a new ball marks a bat, English alum on English unbleached willow, finest quality, special selection, Rachel-grade.

Thomas 'All Souls' Aubry, gentleman, corinthian at heart, and half French yet more English than a true-born.
