Extracts of Dune by Franck HERBERT : Description of Paul Atreides :

-Is not he a bit small for his age, Jessica? ... / ... And the sweet voice of the mother of Paul's counter-viola answered: It is well known that among the Atreides, growth is late your Reverence! "They say it, they say it," whispered the old woman. Yet he is 15 already! ... / ... The old woman studied him, all in one look. He had the face of his mother, with a stronger frame. His hair was black, like those of the Duke his father. His eyebrows were those of his grandfather, the maternal side whose name could not be said. His nose was thin, full of disdain, and his green eyes had the direct look of the old Duke, his paternal grandfather who had died.
