Galsworthy, A Modern Comedy

A tallish man was standing the middle of the little room, thin and upright, with a moustache brushed arrogantly off his lips, and a single eyeglass which seemed to have grown over the right eye, so unaided was it. There were corrugations in his thin weathered cheeks, and in his thick hair flecked at the sides with grey. Soames had no difficulty in disliking him at sight. (276-77)

"He called me an attorney," said Soames with a grim smile, "and she called me a liar. I don't know which is worse." (278)
