15. The lady whom we saw has not uncomely hair,
betwixt blue-black and brown. Her head is clean-shaped;
her forehead high and broad, and standing
somewhat forward. Her face narrows between the eyes,
and the lower part of her face is still more narrow and
slender than the forehead. Her eyes are blackish-brown
and deep. Her nose is fairly smooth and even, save that
it is somewhat broad at the tip and somewhat flattened,
yet it is no snub-nose. Her nostrils are also broad, her
mouth fairly wide. Her lips somewhat full, and
especially the lower lip. Her teeth which are fallen and
grown again are white enough, but the rest are not so
white. The lower teeth project a little beyond the upper;
yet this is but little seen. Her ears and chin are comely
enough. Her neck, shoulders, and all her body and lower
limbs are reasonably well shapen; all her limbs are well
set. Moreover, she is brown of skin all over, and much
like her father; and in all things she is pleasant enough,
as it seems to us."
