"Her eyes, then, are not dark like mine?"
"No—of a bluish turn, and her mouth is very nice and red; and when she smiles, her teeth show white."
"Is she tall?" said the woman sharply.
"I couldn't see. She was sitting down."
"Then do you go to Holmstoke church tomorrow morning: she's sure to be there. Go early and notice her walking in, and come home and tell me if she's taller than I."
"Very well, mother. But why don't you go and see for yourself?"
"I go to see her! I wouldn't look up at her if she were to pass my window this instant. She was with Mr. Lodge, of course. What did he say or do?"
"Just the same as usual."
"Took no notice of you?"
"None."
