The salon was nearly as sombre as midnight, and there was a delicate and oval face, brightened by a pair of large soft eyes, "with fire rolling at the bottom of them!" Long, long did I deplore my deficiency of the organ of language; for with such a person for my vis-a-vis, I could open my mouth but to eat!
For two days she "fixed up" her distracting hair at him so that its silken floss encircled her head like a nimbus; she tucked her oval chin into a white fichu instead of a buttonless collar; she appeared at dinner in a newly starched yellow frock!

It may have been due to the fact that, in their hurry, they had not stopped to eat. The floor they were on was fairly well lighted with the usual oval windows.
I want first to beg you to forgive my withholding so long your little oval mirror it is safe in Paris, and I am vexed at having stupidly forgotten to bring it when I tried to see you. I shall stay here till the autumn sets in, then return to Paris for a few days the first of which will be the best, if I can see you in the course of it afterward, I settle in London.
