| | Frank Martin and the Fairies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Martin was a thin, pale man, when I saw him, of a sickly look, and a constitution naturally feeble. |
 | | His hair was a light auburn, his beard mostly unshaven, and his hands of a singular delicacy and whiteness, owing, I dare say, as much to the soft and easy nature of his employment as to his infirm health. |
 | | On the contrary, he and the fairies maintained the most friendly intimacy, and their dialogues--which I fear were woefully one-sided ones--must h ave been a source of great pleasure to him, for they were conducted with much mith and laughter, on his part at least. |
