The specialties of her appearance, in the first place, were in a great measure due to the singular mixture of races from which she had sprung.

One half of her blood was Jewish, one quarter Scotch, and one quarter pure Brahmin.

Her face was a long oval, too long and too lanky towards the lower part of it for beauty.

Her complexion was somewhat dark, and not good.

The mouth was mobile, expressive, perhaps more habitually framed for pathos and the gentler feelings, than for laughter.
