Two shining arrogant eyes had established dominance over his face and gave the appearance of always leaning aggressively forward. Not even the effeminate swantk of his riding clothes could hide the enormous power of that body -- he seemed to fill those glistening boots until he strained the top lacing, and you could see a great pack of muscle shifting when his shoulder moved under his thin coat.
It was a body capable of enormous leverage - a cruel body. I've heard it said that Daisy's murmur was only to make people lean toward her; an irrelevant criticism that made it no less charming.
