Lovers' Vows
“Even the most well-wishing of her friends never so stretched credulity as to imply she was a beauty. Oh, not ugly! No indeed. No squint, no butter tooth or platter face marred her plainness. Her hair was brown, hair-coloured hair that did not hold a curl nor even a hairpin very well, with the result that there was often a wisp of a tail hanging down her back.
Her eyes were hazel, neither beautifully large and lustrous nor heavily fringed with lashes nor even, truth to tell, so very effective as... organs of vision. In the privacy of her room, she occasionally resorted to a pair of spectacles to read her Bible, whose print was extremely fine. Her teeth, while regular and in good repair, had never been likened to pearls. Her figure, too, was average, neither gracefully willowy nor pleasingly plump. It was compact, on the thin side. All in all, she was not a bad-looking girl.
In the opinion of her Aunt Elsa, under whose roof Holly McCormack had found a home upon the death of her widowed father a few years before, this lack of physical distinction was a desirable attribute.MoreLess
