GEORGE ELIOT? „Dickens in the chair - a position he fills
remarkably well, preserving a courteous neutrality of eye
brows, and speaking with clearness and decision. His appea
rance is certainly disappointing - no benevolence in the
face, and, I think, little in the head, - the anterior lobe
not by any means remarkable. In fact he is not distinguished
looking in any way - neither handsome nor ugly, meither fat
nor thin, neither tall nor short." (Brief van 5 mei 1852
