A Certain Rich Man

CHAPTER IX
2/24

And now we will whirl her around that you may have a good look at her.
Let us begin at the ground: as to feet--they are not too small--say three and a half in size.

And they support rather short legs--my goodness, of course she has legs--did you think her shoes were pinned to her over-skirt?
Her legs carry around a plump body,--not fat--why, certainly not--who ever heard of a fat heroine (the very best a heroine can do for comfort is to be plump)--and so beginning the sentence over again, being a plump little body, there is a neck to account for--a neck which we may look at, but which is so exquisite that it would be hardly polite to consider it in terms of language.

Only when we come to the chin that tips the oval of the face may we descend to language, and even then we must rise and flick the red mouth with, but a passing word.

But this much must be plainly spoken.

The nose does turn up--not much--but a little (Bob used to say, just to be good and out of the way)! That, however, is mere personal opinion, and of little importance here.
