She was a poor copy of Beatrice, or, to be more accurate, Beatrice was a grand development of Elizabeth.

They both had brown hair, but Elizabeth's was straighter and faint-coloured, not rich and ruddying into gold.

Elizabeth's eyes were also grey, but it was a cold washed-out grey like that of a February sky.

And so with feature after feature, and with the expression also.

Beatrice's was noble and open, if at times defiant.
