Some
Schongauers regarded Simon as a dandy, but he didn’t care. He knew that girls saw the matter
differently. The ladies of Schongau
liked him on account of his dark and dreamy eyes, his well-shaped nose, and his
slim figure. Moreover, he was
well-groomed. He still had all his teeth;
he took regular baths. And he had
rose-scented perfume delivered specially from Augsburg, as expensive as his
meager salary permitted it.
