style="FONT-SIZE: 13.6pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffcc">That Orlando as he hastened
to greet him was slightly disappointed was inevitable. The poet was not above
middle height; was of a mean figure; was lean and stooped somewhat, and,
stumbling over the mastiff on entering, the dog bit him. Moreover, Orlando for
all his knowledge of mankind was puzzled where to place him. There was something
about him which belonged neither to servant, squire, or noble. The head with its
rounded forehead and beaked nose was fine, but the chin receded. The eyes were
brilliant, but the lips hung loose and slobbered. It was the expression of the
face--as a whole, however, that was disquieting. There was none of that stately
composure which makes the faces of the nobility so pleasing to look at; nor had
it anything of the dignified servility of a well-trained domestic's face; it was
a face seamed, puckered, and drawn together. Poet though he was, it seemed as if
he were more used to scold than to flatter; to quarrel than to coo; to scramble
than to ride; to struggle than to rest; to hate than to love. This, too, was
shown by the quickness of his movements; and by something fiery and suspicious
in his glance. Orlando was somewhat taken aback. But they went to
dinner.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
