Hi,
Could you help me with the above underlined parts about:
- What does the ‘vinegar’ here refer to? Ill temper or liveliness?
- Does the queue mean braid? But he was a Frenchman!
Thank you.

A vinegar face is a sour or angry looking face.
‘Queue’ here means ‘pigtail’, which some men used to wear in the past, too.
