Thanks alga and John Bishop for the beard info.
It vastly helps to support my notion that the Victorized version of John V. Marsch is a latent homosexual, in addition to playing off his attempt to impersonate Marsch.
It also adds new gloss to the -walker aspect of Twelvewalker, Roy Trenchard's nom d'abo, in that he too is attempting to pass himself off as something he's not. In my version he's attempting to pass as human. In Tony Ellis's version he's attempting to pass for abo.
Eeek. Common ground. Who'd a thunk it?
(Hey, alga: odd, don't you think, my earlier substituting Walker for Turner in light of all this?)
