She had barely time to rise before the door was flung open, and in strode a tall, very dirty man, dressed in yellow moleskin trousers and a faded coat. When he saw Anna, he came up short. “Oh,” he said. “Beg your pardon.” “Good afternoon,” Anna said. “You one of Lydia’s girls?” “Yes.” “New girl?” “I arrived today.” “You and I both,” said the man. He had sandy hair and a slightly grizzled look. “Good afternoon to you.”
Love the entry of this character who we have never really experienced first hand. DelaYed gratification introducing him at the end of the book. He seems totally different to what i imagined. I get a sense that he is goin to demystify things. He actually seems a lot like lauderback, his legitimate half brother. Possibly dressed the same just dirtier - i think i remember moleskin trousers mentjioned
