just six foot tall and he had a gallant bearing. It was his obvious beauty that
had engaged him to go on the stage rather than to become a soldier like his

always appearing in the illustrated papers) you might have taken him for an
officer of high rank. He boasted that his weight had not changed since he was
twenty, and for years, wet or fine, he had got up every morning at eight to put
on shorts and a sweater and have a run round Regent's Park.
