- "Behind him (George) walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws. His arms did not swing at his sides, but hung loosely."
- He is very gentle and kind, and would never harm anyone or anything deliberately
- He is often described as a child or an animal - he drinks from the pool like a horse and his huge hands are described as paws
- He is a big man, in contrast to his name
