of Time's achievements--just that I might describe Margaret to you properly. But the thing is beyond me. I leave such considerations, then, to Célestine, and resolve for the future rigorously to eschew all such gauds. Meanwhile, if an untutored masculine description will content you-- Margaret, I have on reliable feminine authority, was one of the very few blondes whose complexions can carry off reds and yellows. This particular gown--I remember it perfectly--was of a dim, dull yellow--flounciful (if I may coin a word), diaphanous, expansive. I have not the least notion what fabric composed it; but scattered about it, in unexpected places, were diamond-shaped red things that I am credibly informed are called medallions. The general effect of it may be briefly characterised as grateful to the eye and dangerous to the heart, and to a rational train of thought quite fatal. For it was cut low in the neck; and Margaret's neck and shoulders would have drawn madrigals from a bench of bishops. URIES THE PERIOD AFTER THE LIST OF TIME'S ACHIEVEMENTS JUST THAT I MIGHT DESCRIBE MARGARET TO YOU PROPERLY BUT THE THING IS BEYOND ME I LEAVE SUCH CONSIDERATIONS THEN TO CELESTINE AND RESOLVE FOR THE FUTURE RIGOROUSLY TO ASSUE ALL SUCH GODS MEANWHILE IF AN UNTUTORED MASCULINE DESCRIPTION WILL CONTENT YOU MARGARET I HAVE ON RELIABLE FEMININE AUTHORITY WAS ONE OF THE VERY FEW BLONDS WHOSE COMPLEXIONS CAN CARRY OFF REDS AND YELLOWS THIS PARTICULAR GOWN I REMEMBER IT PERFECTLY WAS OF A DIM DULL YELLOW FLOUNCIFUL IF I MAY COIN A WORD DIAPHANOUS EXPANSIVE I HAVE NOT THE LEAST NOTION WHAT FABRIC COMPOSED IT BUT SCATTERED ABOUT IT IN UNEXPECTED PLACES WHERE DIAMOND SHAPED RED THINGS THAT I AM CREDIBLY INFORMED ARE CALLED MEDALLIONS THE GENERAL EFFECT OF IT MAY BE BRIEFLY CHARACTERIZED AS GRATEFUL TO THE EYE AND DANGEROUS TO THE HEART AND TO A RATIONAL TRAIN OF THOUGHT QUITE FATAL FOR IT WAS CUT LOW IN THE NECK AND MARGARET'S NECK AND SHOULDERS WOULD HAVE DRAWN MADRIGALS FROM A BENCH OF BISHOPS
