He felt his nose . It was thick , and quite two hands long . So , then , the old woman had changed his shape , and that was why his own mother did not know him , and called him a horrid dwarf ! ` Master , ' said he , ` have you got a glass that I could see myself in ? ' ` Young gentleman , ' was the answer , ` your appearance is hardly one to be vain of , and there is no need to waste your time looking in a glass . Besides , I have none here , and if you must have one you had better ask Urban the barber , who lives over the way , to lend you his . Good morning .

Jem stepped across to the barber , whom he had known in old days . ` Good morning , Urban , ' said he ; ` may I look at myself in your glass for a moment ?

No wonder you are rather vain ; but look as long as you like at yourself . ' So spoke the barber , and a titter ran round the room .

He was no taller than he had been seven years ago , when he was not much more than twelve years old , but he made up in breadth , and his back and chest had grown into lumps like two great sacks . His legs were small and spindly , but his arms were as large as those of a well-grown man , with large brown hands , and long skinny fingers .
