Mademoiselle Moore had that morning a somewhat absent-minded pupil. Caroline forgot, again and again, the explanations which were given to her. However, she still bore with unclouded mood the chidings her inattention brought upon her. Sitting in the sunshine near the window, she seemed to receive with its warmth a kind influence, which made her both happy and good. Thus disposed, she looked her best, and her best was a pleasing vision.
To her had not been denied the gift of beauty. It was not absolutely necessary to know her in order to like her; she was fair enough to please, even at the first view. Her shape suited her age: it was girlish, light, and pliant1; every curve was neat, every limb proportionate; her face was expressive2 and gentle; her eyes were handsome, and gifted at times with a winning beam that stole into the heart, with a language that spoke3 softly to the affections. Her mouth was very pretty; she had a delicate skin, and a fine flow of brown hair, which she knew how to arrange with taste; curls became her, and she possessed5 them in picturesque6 profusion7. Her style of dress announced taste in the wearer—very unobtrusive in fashion, far from costly8 in material, but suitable in colour to the fair complexion9 with which it contrasted, and in make to the slight form which it draped. Her present winter garb10 was of merino—the same soft shade of brown as her hair; the little collar round her neck lay over a pink ribbon, and was fastened with a pink knot. She wore no other decoration.
So much for Caroline Helstone's appearance. As to her character or intellect, if she had any, they must speak for themselves in due time.
