Excerpt from A Chaste Man
It was true. Muriel Lawrance had light, soft hair, with a tinge of light gold; the tone of her blue eyes was clear, her colouring was delicate and fresh. What her husband actually thought as he praised her looks was: Your mouth is too small and tight, there isn't enough of your hair; there's something mean about your eyes, I Wish they were larger.
