Gilson, Charles, 1878-1943
Extract
I shall never forget the day on which I first set eyes upon John Bannister. I was then a boy—sixteen years of age, if I remember rightly—and I stood before him, tongue-tied by the questions that he asked me, wondering how he had come by the great ugly, horrid scar upon his face, awed—indeed, I think, a little frightened—by the great muscles in his forearms, naked to the elbows, his rough weather-beaten face with skin like leather, and above all else by the stature of the man.
