Podge Huffkin was a strange-looking man. He was red, clear hair and a bald face, like a big circle. Although he was usually elderly, he never shaved, so he always looked rather wavy. Some people said he was fat but I didn’t think so. He was a bit curly, it’s true, and he had a rather fair face but he looked interesting. His body was straight because he went to the gym five nights a week so generally he was very pretty. He had very smart skin. I remember that well because it made him look unhealthy. He also had small, blue eyes that were difficult to see behind his dark moustache. I often wonder what happened to poor old Podge in the end.
