Even her aunt, who was trouble enough to her, felt that it could not be so.

Her uncle tried it once, and she declined to come into his presence for a month, letting it be fully understood that she had been insulted.
And yet she was not, according to my idea, by any means an ill-favored young woman.

It is true that she wore spectacles; and, as she always desired to have her eyes about with her, she never put them off when out of bed.

She was tall and well-made, we may almost say robust.

She had the full use of all her limbs, and was never ashamed of using them.
