Select the simile in the passage.

As I was waiting, a man came out of a side room, and at a glance I was sure he
must be Long John. He was very tall and strong, with a face as big as a ham-
plain and pale, but intelligent and smiling. Indeed, he seemed in the most cheerful
spirits, whistling as he moved about among the tables, with a merry word or a slap
on the shoulder for the more favored of his guests.
