Mr.Saul was very tall and very thin, with a tall thin head, and weak eyes, and a sharp, well-cut nose, and, so to say, no lips, and very white teeth, with no beard, and a well-cut chin.

His face was so thin that his cheek bones obtruded themselves unpleasantly.

He wore a long rusty black coat, and a high rusty black waistcoat, and trousers that were brown with dirty roads and general ill-usage.

Nevertheless, it never occurred to any one that Mr.Saul did not look like a gentleman, not even to himself to whom no ideas whatever on that subject ever presented themselves.

But that he was a gentleman I think he knew well enough, and was able to carry himself before Sir Hugh and his wife with quite as much ease as he could do in the rectory.
