She was about fifty years old, elegantly built, with a noble bearing, easy manners, affable, cheerful, subtle in her remarks, obliging to everyone, full of wit and without the slightest air of pretension. Her face was an enigma, for it inspired keen interest and pleased everyone ; and yet, on closer inspection, it did not have a single striking feature ; one could not say that she was beautiful, but no one would have thought her ugly\"\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\n"}
