Excerpt from The Reigning Belle
Around her were such glowing colors, in masses, or floating airily through the room, that a face less richly tinted would have seemed pal-e by contrast. Behind her was a pile Of India Shawls, in which the rays Of a gorgeous sunset seemed to have mellowed down in one soft, glowing heap. By her side was a morning-dress Of Oriental cash mere, with Vivid palm-leaves running far up the skirt, which trailed down from the wire skeleton that supported it, and swept the floor like the plumage Of 3. Peacock.
In fact this vast show-room was one panorama Of bright, beautiful things; and most beautiful Of all was the young girl, with her rich complexion, just verging on the bru nette, and her large, blue-gray eyes, that looked out from their sweeping lashes like shadowed waters where the rushes grow thickly. Her hair, too, was lustrous and abundant, neither black, auburn, nor brown, but with a gleam of each as the light chanced to fall on it.
