Her father had held a position under the English Government and had always been busy and ill himself, and her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to parties and amuse herself with gay people. Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she had been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another. She had a little thin face and a little thin body, thin light hair and a sour expression.
