"Okay," Ham said, and allowed himself to be sat down beside Eddie at the dining-room table.
"Let's start with height and weight," Eddie said.
"Six-three, a hundred and eighty pounds, about like me," Ham said.
Eddie made some entries into the computer, and a male figure, faceless, appeared on the large, flat-screen monitor before him. "Okay, hair color?"
"Gray."
"Short? Long?"
"Fairly short and very curly."
> Eddie typed away. "Like this?"
"No, even curlier, almost like a sheep."
"Like this?"
"That's it."
"Face thin, medium or fat?"
"Thinnish, strong jaw."
"Like so?"
"Stronger."
"Better?"
"Very good."
"Nose: fat or thin, straight or curved?"
"Thin, straight and short."
"lips?"
"Thin."
"Color of eyes?"
"I'm not sure; maybe blue or green."
"We'll start with blue." Eddie typed some more, then a face appeared on the screen, very complete, almost like a photograph. "How's that?"
"Good, but he had pretty thick eyebrows, and they were black."
Eddie made the adjustment.
"Higher cheekbones," Ham said.
Eddie typed some more.
"And his ears were fairly small and lay flat against his head," Ham said.
Eddie made the changes.
