"I know that! I know that!" said the little maid, almost in a whisper. "But I want to know! Is She beautiful?"
"Yes, she is beautiful," replied Felix, dwelling long on each syllable.
"And has she got blue eyes?"
"The bluest in the world."
"And a pink face?"
"As pink as this rose, Pollypod."
"And red lips?"
"Red as cherries."
"And what is She dressed in?"
"Blue silk, with a large sash behind, and mauve boots, and the loveliest bonnet that ever was made."
