this passage , from 'rugged was his aspect ... ' , is a replacement on a separate slip ; the original text was : tuor was goodly in countenance but rugged and unkempt of locks and clad in the skins of bears , yet his stature , was not overgreat among his own folk , but the gondothlim , ,- though not bent as were no few of their kin who laboured at ceaseless delving and hammering for melko , were small and slender and lithe .
