Dr. McConnell was about 65 and balding. His grizzled mustache moved in an undulating motion when he chewed. When he didn't have food in his mouth he puffed on a cigarette, oblivious to how his guests felt about the noxious fumes. Mrs. McConnell was a dumpy woman who needed to do something, anything, with her short, gray hair.

I love the mention of mustaches and chewing. Great six!
