Excerpt from The Miscellaneous Works of Tobias Smollett, M.D, Vol. 5 of 6: With Memoirs of His Life and Writings; Containing the Adventures of Sir Launcelot Greaves, and Travels Through France and Italy The solitary guest had something very forbidding in his aspect, which was contracted by an habitual frown. His eyes were small and red, and so deep set in the sockets, that each appeared like the unextinguished snuff of a farthing candle, gleaming through the horn of a dark lanthorn. His nostrils were elevated in scorn, as if his sense of smelling had been perpetually offended by some unsavoury odour; and he looked as if he wanted to shrink within himself from the impertinence of society. He wore a black periwig, as straight as the pinions of a raven, and this was covered with an hat flapped, and fastened to his head by a speckled handker chief tied 'under his chin. He was wrapped in a great coat of brown freeze, under which he seemed to conceal a small bundle. His name was Ferret, and his character distin guished by three peculiarities. He was never seen to smile, he was never heard to speak in praise of any person what soever, and he was never known to give a direct answer to any question that was asked but seemed, on all occasions, to be actuated by the most perverse spirit of contradiction.
