From the text:

"And all he was really, was a shaggy, rough-voiced old man—fifty anyway, surely—who sang dirty songs and called me 'big girl.' In a way, that's all he was..."

"Close to, he had a wild smell—furry, but like live fur, while it's still on the shukri or the jarilao. He was built straight up and down: wide shoulders, thick waist, thick short legs and neck. A heavy face, but not soft, not sagging—cheekbones you could have built a fence, a house with. Big eyes, set wide apart, half-hidden in the shadows of those cheekbones. Very quiet eyes, almost black, looking black because of the white hair. He never smiled much, but he usually looked about to."
