Quote context
[...]
- His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry.
- His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, and the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
- The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, and the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath.
- He had a broad face and a round little belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.
- He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, and I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself.
- A wink of his eye, and a twist of his head, soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
- And laying his finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
- But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight...
- Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
