"Fiery red" she was wont to describe it, and most people considered it, very justly, one of her two claims to distinction.

Her other admirable feature was a pair of magnificent deep blue eyes--merry, mischievous and scintillating as diamonds.

Few could resist those eyes, and certain it is that Patsy Doyle was a universal favorite and won friends without a particle of effort.
The younger of the three nieces, Elizabeth De Graf, was as beautiful a girl as you will often discover, one of those rarely perfect creations that excite our wonder and compel admiration--as a beautiful picture or a bit of statuary will.

Dreamy and reserved in disposition, she lacked the graciousness of Louise and Patsy's compelling good humor; yet you must not think her stupid or disagreeable.

Her reserve was really diffidence; her dreamy, expressionless gaze the result of a serious nature and a thoughtful temperament.
