     Verily a man much to be feared, because of his size, his bald head, his manner—and above all, his ability to fire a volume of questions that would make even a Soph. withdraw within himself and shut up like a clam. When he makes a statement, it's decisive, and even if you don't agree with him you'd best take it down and look it up later only to find that his store of knowledge is vast and unending.
