2 Lily's eye brightened, and a faint smile relaxed the drawn lines of her mouth.
3 Mrs. Peniston was a small plump woman, with a colourless skin lined with trivial wrinkles.
4 The woman, without answering, pushed her pail aside, and continued to stare as Miss Bart swept by with a murmur of silken linings.
5 The glare from the jeweller's window, deepening the pallour of her face, gave to its delicate lines the sharpness of a tragic mask.
