Excerpt from The Priest Inside this buff-lined and deep-padded carriage, with her hand holding the window strap, and her gaze fixed upon the lighted interior of the church which, striped by the rain, could be seen through the open door, with its red curtains swinging in the draught - was a handsome woman of fashion approaching her fortieth year. Her hair was of a dark brown; the small eyes dusk-lidded, and Close under clean-pencilled brows, which did not curve but were straight and almost met together - were reddish-brown and darkly lashed her nose, which was neither thin nor finely chiselled, Sloped to a slight upward tilt; her lips were full and strong and even masculine. The shadows about her eyes and the Clean-drawn eyebrows so low in the forehead gave the chief note of her countenance.
