David Silver. Though his legs are the same length, he walks stiffly, like a man who wears a built-up boot. Perhaps his feet don’t match. Yet when he takes his socks off, he has beautiful feet, just as he has beautiful hands. His socks don’t even smell.

His hair is thick and strong and dark, but it grows as if it has been yanked back by someone in a terrible temper. His widow’s peak is so deep, his temples seem about to sprout a pair of devil horns. His face is triangular, the sensual mouth taking up most of the width of the chin. He has a beauty spot on his left cheek that gives him a decadent appearance.

One great eyebrow spans his face so his eyes are like soft furry animals sheltering under it. They are green eyes, prettily shaped and dark, the only really dark green eyes I’ve seen. He is a child-man with a childish speech impediment: he says ‘wiv’ instead of ‘with’. He is done up in soft brown skin that has no freckles. He devours cigarette smoke as if it were mother’s milk. Because he keeps crossing his eyes to look at his nose, Miles says he has a Pinocchio complex. He seems to have trouble breathing up his nose because when he crosses his eyes, he also tries to breathe in, but he can’t seem to get enough breath through. He seems like a thwarted thing to me, curiously beautiful, but kept back from a larger plan of himself.
