The inspector was about to rise; this was really trifling with the dignity of the municipality.
Merriman, round and cherubic, looking as though no care had ever troubled her; and there was Lucy, fair almost as the Singletons, with that particularly prim face which aggravated Rosamund, and which would certainly drive Irene to distraction.
Henry Chichester's fleshly envelop, on the other hand, cherubic, fair, and delicate, his blue eyes, small bones, the shape of forehead and chin, the line of the lips, hinted at surely more than that, surely stated mildly the existence within it of a nature retiring, meek, and ready to be ruled by others.
