Well, I'm afraid I can't speak for any of that. But here, I finished your questions for you:


Do you prefer gentlemen with or without nice smiles?
Well, the ones with them, I suppose. But it's all right if they only show those smiles once in a while, I should think--it makes them that much more precious to see, those few times when they do. And makes one feel that much more special for drawing it out of them, besides.

Do you prefer gentlemen with or without exotic-sounding accents?
Erk. Er...with? It, er, depends on what you call exotic, really.

Do you prefer gentlemen with or without beards?
Do you mean in my past experiences, or just in general? Most of the ones I know have generally been without, if memory serves. But Sam did get a bit, er...well, scruffy for a while, and it looked rather all right, I thought. So without, for the most part, I would say. But a bit of scruffiness is all right every once in a while, too, I should think.

Are there some faces that are better suited towards beards?
I think there are some people better suited to beards, at least. Wizards, generally, go about with beards. And so do evil viziers, come to think of it, so I suppose I'd have to say there are, yes. By virtue of occupation, if nothing else.

Beards are terrible, all men should shave?
Weren't you saying something about being unscientific?

And I prefer:
The first one of Caspian, I think. His smile is lovely, and he doesn't look positively ridiculous like some of the others I could mention.
