A Pair of Blue Eyes

Elfride Swancourt was a girl whose emotions lay very near the surface. Their naturemore precisely, and as modified by the creeping hours of time, was known only to thosewho watched the circumstances of her history. Personally, she was the combination of very interesting particulars, whose rarity, however, lay in the combination itself rather than in the individual elements combined. Asa matter of fact, you did not see the form and substance of her features when conversingwith her; and this charming power of preventing a material study of her lineaments by aninterlocutor, originated not in the cloaking effect of a well-formed manner (for her mannerwas childish and scarcely formed), but in the attractive crudeness of the remarksthemselves. She had lived all her life in retirement-the monstrari gigito of idle men hadnot flattered her, and at the age of nineteen or twenty she was no further on in socialconsciousness than an urban young lady of fifteen
