Peculiar eyes: Mrs Gildea, who knew them well, never could decide their exact colour.

The nose was a delicate aquiline, the chin pointed.

An untidy mass of wavy chestnut hair stuck out in uneven puffs and insubordinate curls, all round the small head.

At this moment Mrs Gildea remembered a suggestive charm sent to Lady Bridget by her cousin, Chris Gaverick, one Christmas, of a miniature gold curry-comb.
It was a vivid brief impression, for the girl moved on immediately, but Joan noticed that Colin McKeith had arrested Lady Bridget's wandering gaze.

That was not surprising, for his great height and the distinctiveness of his appearance, made him more likely than anyone else present to attract her attention.
