The Fallen Leaves

CHAPTER 1
16/51

Her face is what I want to make you see as plainly as I saw it myself: it was her face that startled me.
So far as I can pretend to judge, she must have been pretty, in a healthy way, when she was young.

I declare I hardly know whether she is not pretty now.

She certainly has no marks or wrinkles; her hair either has no gray in it, or is too light to show the gray.

She has preserved her fair complexion; perhaps with art to assist it--I can't say.

As for her lips--I am not speaking disrespectfully, I am only describing them truly, when I say that they invite kisses in spite of her.
