Look it

"One morning, when a snow-crusted engine dragged its long string of freight cars and its one passenger coach to the station, Scully performed the marvel of catching three men. One was a shaky and quick-eyed Swede (...); one was a tall bronzed cowboy (...); one was a little silent man from the East, who didn't look it, and didn't announce it." ("The Blue Hotel" by Stephen Crane) http://www.4literature.net/Stephen_Crane/Blue_Hotel/

Could you please tell me how a shaky and quick-eyed man looks like, and what the author means by "who didn't look it, and didn't announce it?"

Thank you so much in advance.

untrustworthy or lacking firmness (or just physically shaking), looking quickly in all sides, probably a dubious fellow

who didn't look like a "man from the East," nor did tell anyone about it
