And one thing I really love is that it's also expressed in a continual sense of Wolfe's physical presence. Archie always describes how Wolfe moves, how he sits, the degree to which his eyes are closed, the shift of his shoulders. Even the hottest girls don't get that much physical description of them. It's practically indecent, omg. :D
And even though Archie's always going on about "seventh of a ton" this and "the chairs weren't big enough for him" that, there's no sense that Archie finds Wolfe physically repellent in any way. There's none of the ew, fat that might crop up in something written later; it's kind of written about like he's seven foot tall or something, a bit of sideshow entertainment value but not like it's gross. Which is eeeeenteresting. *g*
