Excerpt from Once a Week, Vol. 12: An Illustrated Miscellany of Literature, Art, Science, and Popular Information; December, 1864, to June, 1865
She was sitting on a couch far away from her mother and hostess when Theo entered; looking not exactly out of temper or contemp tuons, - her face was naturally too brightly frank and good-humoured for that, - but wearily fatigued at the repetition of that which she had heard so many times before. For her mamma was giving the new comer Mrs. Leigh a history in outline of the faults and follies of the denizens of the establishment, and Sydney Scott was Sick of the subject.
She was a pretty girl with great deep-grey eyes, a broad brow, and a very fair delicate complexion, - a short plump girl with tiny white hands, and a well-cut laughing mouth. But her greatest charm lay in that aforesaid expression of frankness and in her apparently effortless bonhomie.
