Goudy is at least 8 feets tall and broad in proportion, and his colossal bulk is crowned by a great shock of ginger-colored hair, on which he wears a beaver hat measuring more than two from crown to brim. His hands are as large as the hams of a Virginia hog, and on those rare moments when he is in repose they dangle below his knees; it is the b'hoy's habit to boast pridefully that his chieftain could stand erect and scratch his kneecap.
