He did justice to his very gentlemanlike appearance, his air of elegance and fashion, his good shaped face, his sensible eye; but, at the same time, "must lament his being very much under-hung, a defect which time seemed to have increased; nor could he pretend to say that ten years had not altered almost every feature for the worse. He did not mean to complain, however.
In those rooms she could remember her mother as a young and comely woman, but always with the same slovenly dress, and the same untidy though then abundant and beautiful hair. And as she half shut her eyes she seemed also to see her younger sister coming in and out malicious, secretive with her small turn-up nose, pouting lips, and under-hung chin.

Ah, lovely Amaryllis, why no more, as of old, dust thou glance through this cavern after me, nor callest me, thy sweetheart, to thy side. Can it be that thou hatest me? Do I seem snub-nosed, now thou hast seen me near, maiden, and under-hung? Thou wilt make me strangle myself!
