But the rest of the priest's face was not in keeping with what was most striking in it.

The forehead was not powerful, narrow, prominent--but rather, broad and imaginative.

The chin was round and not enough developed; the clean-shaven lips had a singularly gentle expression, and the very near-sighted blue eyes were not set deeply enough to give strength to the look.

The priest carried his head somewhat bent and forward, in a sort of deprecating way, which made his long nose seem longer, and his short chin more retreating.

The skull was unusually high and peaked at the point where phrenologists place the organ of veneration.
