Miss Deborah Grantham
... a tall young woman with chestnut hair, glowing in the candlelight,
and a pair of laughing, dark eyes set under slim, arched brows. Her
luxuriant hair was quite simply dressed, without powder, being piled
up on top of her head, and allowed to fall in thick, smooth curls.
...
She was built on queenly lines, carried her head well, and possessed a
pretty waist, and a neatly turned ankle. She looked to have a good deal
of humour, and her voice, when she spoke, was low-pitched and pleasing.
