His features were large and harsh; his complexion dark red, as that of one bronzed by long exposure and flushed with strong drink. His fierce, dark-gray eyes were surmounted by thick, heavy black brows that, when gathered into a frown, reminded one of a thunder cloud, as the flashing orbs beneath them did of lightning. His hard, harsh face was surrounded by a thick growth of iron-gray hair and beard that met beneath his chin. His usual habit was a black cloth coat, crimson vest, black leather breeches, long, black yarn stockings,...","brand":"Leila's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073314046192,"sku":"2940012196972","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012196972_p0.jpg?v=1763552987","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012196972","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
