She wore a yellow silk dress trimmed about the shoulders with black lace and glittering with valuable jewels.

Her neck and arms were finely moulded and of a dazzling whiteness.

Her small head was proudly set on her shoulders, and her magnificent black hair smoothly coiled in lustrous tresses above her white forehead.

Her lips were full and rich, her eyes large and black, and her nose was thin and high.

The most marked feature of her face were the eyebrows, which almost met over her nose.
She had delicate hands and beautiful arms which showed themselves to advantage as she manipulated the cards.
