Her complexion\n\nhad the appearance and texture of wax, and the deep and\n\nshadowy furrows which ran from each side of her nostrils to\n\nthe comers of her mouth accentuated the soft, full and\n\nfading lips. She wore a tailored coat of fine grey material,\n\nopen so that the stuff of her wedding-dress was visible,\n\nsteel-grey in colour, with an ill-cut cameo pinned in the\n\nlace yoke. A shallow black hat with a blue and white\n\nornament in front was set straight on top of her mouse-\n\ncoloured hair, and the hair was so arranged at the temples\n\nas to cover, not with complete success, a white streak.\n\n\"They make a gladsome couple, eh?
