His large, settled face, though firm, was not, as she had thought at first, hard; he looked, in the oddest manner, to her fancy, half like a general and half like a bishop, and she was soon sure that, within some such handsome range, what it would show her would be what was good, what was best for her." (1.5.3.1)

He has the look of a very dignified and respectable man. And, lo and behold, Sir Luke is a dignified and respectable man. What you see is what you get with good ol' Sir Luke.
