Excerpt from Herr Paulus, Vol. 1 of 3: His Rise, His Greatness, and His Fall
You shall learn, presently, whither this sensitive and nervous organisation brought this young man. Never since the day - too short a day - of Absalom, was there so sweet a youth. Like Absalom, but in this respect only - because in thinking of Absalom one always thinks of a beam sabreur - the boy wore his hair long. It was parted at the side, and rolled over. His white temples with a natural curve, which, in the days of the gallant d'orsay, was achieved, where it was not natural, by the aid. Of science, bear's grease, and fragrant pomade. It seemed natural that he should wear long hair: if it was an affectation It was his only one, because his dress was quite plain and even rustic, while his boots would have attracted consider able attention in' the fashionable quarters of New York.
