Excerpt from A Hopeless Case
Agnes Wolverton was a girl of medium stature, with a fresh, frank face, light-blue eyes, and black, slightly-waved hair. Mrs. Leroy at once pronounced her pretty. The arrival took place at about five o'clock in the after noon. Rivington was making his evening toilette at the time, but he entered the draw ing-room a little later, and found his sister and Agnes awaiting him there.
Rivington at once looked at his sister, after the needful introduction had taken place, and at once decided that Mrs. Leroy was laboring under some sort of unpleasant surprise.
