He is grown into a man of whom any parents might be proud tall, well-featured, strong, tolerably learned, honorable, and of influence among his fellows. His affection for us, too, is very great.
But what astonished us more than all was the peculiarity of their complexions, which, although they were very well-featured men, were of a beautiful light blue their eyes black, and their hair of a rich auburn. The personage in the stern sheets ascended the side, and addressing me in excellent Portuguese, inquired if I could speak the language.
The "gipsy," as he had been called from his dark complexion, had been renowned in youth for the beauty of his person, being "tall and singularly well-featured, of a sweet aspect, but high foreheaded, which was of no discommendation," according to Naunton.
What made me think so quickly of her is that in San Francisco, at a theatre last winter, she was pointed out to me, and while I do you not the injustice of supposing it would make the least difference to you, she is rather a beauty, you'll find; figure fullish, yellow hair, and a good-natured, well-featured, pleasing sort of face; a bit rococo in manner, I suspect; a little too San Francisco, as so many of these Western beauties are, but you'd not mind that, and a year in New York will tone her down anyway.

"I mind Mrs Bosenna well," said Captain Cai, rising as the barber unwrapped him; "a smallish well-featured body, with eyes like bullace plums."
