Miss Sophia (Sophy) Stanton-Lacy
Sir Horace's little Sophy stood five feet nine inches in her stockinged
feet, and was built on generous lines, a long-legged, deep-bosomed
creature, with a merry face, and a quantity of glossy brown ringlets under
one of the most dashing hats her cousins had ever seen. A pelisse was
buttoned up to her throat, a very long sable stole was slipping from her
shoulders, and she carried an enormous sable muff.
