Mary Morstan

The Sign of the Four
Ch.2 The Statement of the Case

Miss Morstan entered the room with a firm step and an outward composure of manner.
步履穩重, 舉止端莊

She was a blonde young lady, small, dainty, well gloved, and dressed in the most perfect taste.
年輕女郎, 一頭金髪, 身材嬌小

There was, however, a plainness and simplicity about her costume which bore with it a suggestion of limited means.
只是打扮過於樸素平淡, 似乎家計並不寬裕.

Her face had neither regularity of feature nor beauty of complexion, but her expression was sweet and amiable, and her large blue eyes were singularly spiritual and sympathetic.

If she were seventeen at the time of her father's disappearance she must be seven-and-twenty now⁠---a sweet age, when youth has lost its self-consciousness and become a little sobered by experience.
