He hadn't been sure the first day, but now he had had a chance to get used to her face being so long and sort of pointed, and her eyes long too, and her black eyebrows running back almost into her hair, he liked every bit of her face. It looked so different from anybody else's. He noticed with an inward smile that she was fidgety under Mr. Bayweather's historical talk.
"That's one of Mrs. Bayweather's favorite maxims," she admitted. She added, "But I really do like to go to church." Mr. Welles felt an apprehension about the turn things were taking.
