As to the face in general, it is too narrow and too long at the lower part, too broad and too low in the higher regions of the eyes and the head.

The whole picture, as reflected in the glass, represents a woman of some elegance, rather too pale, and rather too sedate and serious in her moments of silence and repose--in short, a person who fails to strike the ordinary observer at first sight, but who gains in general estimation on a second, and sometimes on a third view.

As for her dress, it studiously conceals, instead of proclaiming, that she has been married that morning.

She wears a gray cashmere tunic trimmed with gray silk, and having a skirt of the same material and color beneath it.
