"It is some time since we met." "Happy to meet you, sir; glad to see you," replied the lawyer, putting out a long hand towards the part of the room where Mr.Barker was standing.
Mr.Screw was Mr.Scratch's partner.

Mr.Screw was very tall, very thin, and exceedingly yellow.

He had thick yellow hair, streaked with gray.
His face seemed bound in old parchment, and his eyes were like brass nails driven very deep, but bright and fixed when he spoke.

He had a great abundance of teeth of all sizes and shapes; his face was clean shaven; and he wore a stand-up collar, with a narrow black tie neatly adjusted in a bow.

His feet and hands were of immense size.
