All at once Pierre was struck by the great resemblance between Benedetta and the portrait of Cassia hanging on the wall.

You saw in his face a strong resemblance to Ione, but the expression was altogether different from that majestic and spiritual calm which breathed so divine and classical a repose over his sister's beauty.
