Her features were irregular enough to give her face a high degree of individuality, yet by no means to deprive it of delicacy or attractiveness.
Her finely-rounded form is in harmony with the ravishing vivacity of her face, which is beautifully oval. Seen by the glaring gaslight her complexion is singularly clear and pale.

Her finely-rounded arms were encircled by bracelets, set with the richest diamonds, that matched a necklet of priceless worth apparently. She wore a tiara, too, of the same costly making and setting. The dance began. It was a waltz.
