Ready to run
Nor did he look like a bookmaker's clerk. He was more like a tout. There was about him that subtle suggestion of having no legal standing in the universe, of being perpetually ready to run.
You talking about his nose. Somebody Photoshopped away his Adam's apple. The personification of a Slithy Tove. As to principles, he is of Groucho's persuasion. A face you would never tire of slapping with a navvy's shovel. Apart from that, seems like a nice man.
Hunt is another wretch like Hancock - just to see him is to get the measure of the man. Instantly dislikable. I would have thought that it would have been enough to prevent him ever rising above local government level, or to any position requiring election, but there he is.

ReplyDeleteDoonhamer - yes it's the principles. He's certainly a man of Groucho's persuasion and isn't even good at hiding it.
ReplyDeleteSam - that's the puzzle - how do they rise so far? It's as if anyone assertive enough will do because they only have to play a part written for them.
