Excerpt
MISS R. LAMB was pretty. This might be set down as merely an agreeable statement pertaining to Miss Lamb’s sentient bodily structure, had her prettiness been of the palely classic or even of the darkly severe order. But the sort of exuberantly youthful, kittenish beauty exhibited in Miss Lamb’s pink and white, curl-shaded, cherubic countenance was not far from being ridiculous when one perforce took into account the correlative fact that Miss Lamb was little more than a walking’. edition of the great-Great-head’s Psysiological Psychology.” Now, the merest tyro in, book-making would know better than to invest a profound treatise on the “Philosophy of Mind” with a rose-colored binding pranked out with a profusion of gold curlicues and illuminated text. And this simple illustration exactly fits Miss Lamb’s case: her binding, if one may use the term, was strikingly inappropriate.
