and what lashes! and what hair!  and altogether, how adorable she was, and what a wonder the admiring gods hadn't snatched her up to Olympus long ago! AND WHAT LASHES AND WHAT HAIR AND ALTOGETHER HOW ADORABLE SHE WAS AND WHAT A WONDER THE ADMIRING GODS HADN'T SNATCHED HER UP TO OLYMPUS LONG AGO
ad ever heard of Miguel Saumarez, and when Billy was still an undergraduate. She was a widow now, and not well-to-do; and Mr. Woods's first thought on seeing her was that a man was a fool to write verses, and that she looked like just the sort of woman to preserve them. His second was that he had verged on imbecility when he fancied he admired that slender, dark-haired type. A woman's hair ought to be an enormous coronal of sunlight; a woman ought to have very large, candid eyes of a colour between that of sapphires and that of the spring heavens, only infinitely more beautiful than either; and all petticoated persons differing from this description were manifestly quite unworthy of any serious consideration. So his eyes turned to Margaret, who had no eyes for him. She had forgotten his existence, with an utterness that verged on ostentation; and if it had been any one else Billy would have surmised she was in a temper. But that angel in a temper!--nonsense! And, oh, what eyes she had! OUSLY BEFORE SHE HAD EVER HEARD OF MIGUEL SAMOREZ AND WHEN BILLY WAS STILL AN UNDERGRADUATE SHE WAS A WIDOW NOW AND NOT WELL TO DO AND MISTER WOODS'S FIRST THOUGHT ON SEEING HER WAS THAT A MAN WAS A FOOL TO WRITE VERSES AND THAT SHE LOOKED LIKE JUST THE SORT OF WOMAN TO PRESERVE THEM HIS SECOND WAS THAT HE HAD VERGED ON IMBECILITY WHEN HE HAD FANCIED HE ADMIRED THAT SLENDER DARK HAIRED TYPE A WOMAN'S HAIR OUGHT TO BE AN ENORMOUS CORONAL OF SUNLIGHT A WOMAN OUGHT TO HAVE VERY LARGE CANDID EYES OF A COLOUR BETWEEN THAT OF SAPPHIRES AND THAT OF THE SPRING HEAVENS ONLY INFINITELY MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EITHER AND ALL PETTICOOTED PERSONS DIFFERING FROM THIS DESCRIPTION WERE MANIFESTLY QUITE UNWORTHY OF ANY SERIOUS CONSIDERATION SO HIS EYES TURNED TO MARGARET WHO HAD NO EYES FOR HIM SHE HAD FORGOTTEN HIS EXISTENCE WITH AN UTTERNESS THAT VERGED ON OSTENTATION AND IF IT HAD BEEN ANY ONE ELSE BILLY WOULD HAVE SURMISED SHE WAS IN A TEMPER BUT THAT ANGEL IN A TEMPER NONSENSE AND OH WHAT EYES SHE HAD
