He was charmed by the pale face, the lissome figure, draped in pearl grey, with a coiled string of pearls at the throat. Carrie had the air of one who was weary and in need of protection, and, under the fascinating make-believe of the moment, he rose in feeling until he was ready in spirit to go to her and ease her out of her misery by adding to his own delight.
And Nora was a beauty, too an Irish beauty; the sort of girl who always goes down in England. She would want respectable dress; and then with her taking ways and those roguish, dark-blue eyes of hers, with that bewitching smile which showed a gleam of the whitest and most pearly teeth in the world, with the light, lissome figure, and the blue-black hair what could not Irish Nora achieve?
She was dressed in rich brown velveteen, made to fit her lissome figure.
