Green Mansions

CHAPTER V
7/16

From my position it was impossible to see her distinctly, yet I dared not move.

I could make out that she was small, not above four feet six or seven inches in height, in figure slim, with delicately shaped little hands and feet.

Her feet were bare, and her only garment was a slight chemise-shaped dress reaching below her knees, of a whitish-gray colour, with a faint lustre as of a silky material.
Her hair was very wonderful; it was loose and abundant, and seemed wavy or curly, falling in a cloud on her shoulders and arms.

Dark it appeared, but the precise tint was indeterminable, as was that of her skin, which looked neither brown nor white.
