Answer:
The man's appearance is described as big, heavy, and not successful, judging by the poverty of his appearance.
The above is from the following passage:
When he came to Mrs. Adis's cottage, he paused for a moment. Only a small patch of grass lay between it and the road, and he looked in at the lighted, uncurtained window. He could see Mrs. Adis stooping over the fire, taking some pot or kettle off it. He hesitated and seemed to wonder. He was a big, heavy, working man, not successful, judging by the poverty of his appearance. For a moment, he made as if he would open the window, then he changed his mind and went to the door instead. He did not knock but walked straight in.
The woman at the fire turned quickly around.
"What, you, Peter Crouch!" she said. "I didn't hear you knock."
"I didn't knock, ma'am. I didn't want anybody to hear. How's that?"
"I'm in trouble." His hands were shaking a little. "What have you done?"
"I shot a man, Mrs. Adis."
"You?"
"Yes, I shot him."
"You killed him?"
"I don't know."
For a moment, there was silence in the small, stuffy kitchen. Then the kettle boiled over, and Mrs. Adis mechanically put it at the side of the fire. She was a small, thin woman with a brown, hard face on which the skin had dried in innumerable small, hair-like wrinkles. She was probably not more than forty-two, but life treats some women hard in the agricultural districts of Sussex, and Mrs. Adis' life had been harder than most.
"What do you want me to do for you, Peter Crouch?" she said a little sourly. "Let me stay here a bit. Is there nowhere you can put me till they've gone?"
