dalton was very good-looking too , longish , dirty blonde hair that nearly hit his shoulders ; lean body but without the bulk and power of tate 's ; just a couple of inches taller than me unlike tate who had to be four or five inches taller than me and i was five foot nine ; and dalton wore jeans like they were invented solely for him and thus he needed to be consulted by all and sundry for his approval before they could don a pair .
