Her hair was frizzled into a tangled chaparral, forward of her ears, aft it was drawn together, and compactly bound and plaited into a stump like a pony's tail, and furthermore was canted upward at a sharp angle, and ingeniously supported by a red velvet crupper, whose forward extremity was made fast with a half-hitch around a hairpin on the top of her head.

Her whole top hamper was neat and becoming.

She had a beautiful complexion when she first came, but it faded out by degrees in an unaccountable way.

However, it is not lost for good.

I found the most of it on my shoulder afterward.
