pince-nez

Gamache does not solve crimes by adjusting his pince-nez and issuing a deduction.

He showed me some pince-nez reading glasses that Guinness has gotten for him, which make him look even more like an 18th-century European count.

His rumpled fedora; his jaunty cigarette holder; his pince-nez glasses; his Naval cape; and the steel leg braces that let him stand and appear to walk on his own.

Improbably bedecked in a bow tie, pince-nez glasses and a mailman’s hat, he held a pickle like a cigar and cracked wise in a voice borrowed from Groucho Marx.

A pair of cracked pince-nez balanced on the end of his twitching nose.
