a realistic and detailed picture of a young woman standing in the doorway of a thatched hut surrounded by a tropical coconut grove. She resting her hand on the doorframe and smiling. Her dress is pretty but simple, of a deep green silk dotted by tiny blue flowers. Her jet black tresses fall in gathered profusion down her back, a necklace of tiny shells is clasped round her neck, and a red rose was pinned upon her dress. She was about seventeen and the natural tint of her cheeks speak of youthful health. As she smiles her cheeks dimple deeply, and her hazel eyes sparkled, but no teeth were visible through the rosy lips. It is a unique smile, full of mingled vivacity and reserve, gravity and grace.
