Excerpt from West Lawn: And the Rector of St. Mark's Here there was a break in the diary, while Dora glanced in the mirror at a graceful little figure, with sloping shoulders and white neck, surmounted by a well shaped head with masses of reddish-brown hair, waving just enough to suggest an idea Of the curls into which it might be easily coaxed; low forehead; piquant nose, with an undeniable curve which ill-natured people call a turn-up; bright, honest eyes Of reddish-brown, like the hair; month which did not look as if it had ever said a disagreeable thing; rows Of white, even teeth, with com plexion remarkable for nothing except that it was nat ural, and just now a shade or two paler than usual, be cause its owner was weary with the months and years Of care which had fallen on her youthful shoulders.
