No charm was wanting, no defect was perceptible; the young girl had regular and delicate lineaments; eyes shaped and coloured as we see them in lovely pictures, large, and dark, and full; the long and shadowy eyelash which encircles a fine eye with so soft a fascination; the pencilled brow which gives such clearness; the white smooth forehead, which adds such repose to the livelier beauties of tint and ray; the cheek oval, fresh, and smooth; the lips, fresh too, ruddy, healthy, sweetly formed; the even and gleaming teeth without flaw; the small dimpled chin; the ornament of rich, plenteous tresses--all advantages, in short, which, combined, realise the ideal of beauty, were fully hers.
Le lunghe palpebre, terminate da folte ciglia, incorniciavano il suo bell'occhio, cui aggiungevano fascino le sopracciglia ben disegnate. La fronte bianca e liscia rivelava la calma e poneva in rilievo l'incarnato delle guancie ovali, il colorito delle labbra fresche e delicate.
