Sri Yukteswar listened appreciatively; his musical sense was acutely perfect. "They are off key!"

The crude blue of her dress, the tags and ends of tinselled braid set his teeth on edge.

Later on he proposed to himself the pleasure of supervising her wardrobe, except her boots, which met with his fullest approbation.
