Her face was oval, her features regular, and her little mouth, when
open, disclosed a set of shining, black lacquered teeth; her hair was
black, and rolled up in the form of a turban, without any ornament,
except a few tortoiseshell combs; she had sparkling, dark eyes, was
about the middle size, and elegantly formed; her dress consisted of six
wadded silk garments, similar to our night-gowns, each fastened round
the lower part of the waist by a separate band, and drawn close together
from the girdle downwards; they were all of different colours, and the
uppermost was black.
