Aunt Aggie looked as if she had been coloured by some mistake from a palette prepared to depict a London fog.
Her eyes were greyish yellow, like her eyelashes, like her hair,--at least her front hair,--like her eyebrows, and her complexion.

She was short and stout.

She called slender people skeletons.

Her gown, which was invariably of some greyish, drabbish, neutral-tinted material, always cocked up a little in front to show two large, flat, soft-looking feet.
Aunt Aggie began quite narrow at the top.

Her forehead was the thin edge of the wedge, and she widened slowly as she neared the ground; the first indication of a settlement showing in the lobes of her ears, then in her cheeks, and then in her drab-apparelled person.
