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.
La joven tenía los rasgos delicados y tan brillantes, profundos y oscuros los ojos como los que se ven en algunos cuadros de grandes maestros. Eran largas y sombreadas sus pestañas, finas las cejas, blanca y suave la frente, lozanas y ovaladas las mejillas, frescos, saludables, suavemente cincelados los labios, relucientes los dientes, menuda la barbilla.
