The narrator begins the book by noting that there are many men with very hairy faces and asks why men grow beards, how they care for them, and how often they trim them. It is likely the reader will encounter a hairy-faced man soon, and when they do, “maybe you will look at him more closely and start wondering about some of these things” (3).
Except for his forehead, nose, and eyes, Mr. Twit’s face is completely covered in a beard that grows in great tufts and spikes. The narrator asks the reader how often Mr. Twit washes his beard and then offers the answer as “NEVER, not even on Sundays” (5).
Hairy men tend to get food all over their beards when they eat, and Mr. Twit has one of the most food-covered and disgusting beards of all. There’s so much food tangled in his beard that he can lick some off whenever he wants a snack, and the narrator ends the chapter by stating that “Mr. Twit was a foul and smelly old man” (7).
