They are apparently father and daughter. The gentleman is 50, tall, well-preserved and of upright carriage. His imposing style, with his strong aquiline nose and resolute clean-shaven mouth, gives him an air of importance.

His daughter is well-dressed, well-fed, good-looking, strong-minded young woman, presentably ladylike. But still her father's daughter.

(from “Widower's Houses” by B. Shaw)

- 2 -

Harry, imagine a girl, hardly seventeen of age, with a little flower-like face, a small Greek head with plaited coils of dark-brown hair, eyes that were violet wells of passion, lips that were like the petals of a rose. She was the loveliest thing I had ever seen in my life.

(from “The Picture of Dorian Grey” by O. Wilde)

His face was deeply sunburnt, but the sun had not taken the healthy colour from his cheeks. She liked the little curly moustache which did not conceal his full red lips. He had black hair, short and brushed very sleek. But, of course, his eyes, under thick bushy eyebrows, were his best feature.

(from "The Painted Veil" by S. Maugham)

- 4 -

In the centre of the room… stood the head of the family, old Jolyon himself, eighty years of age, white hair, his dome-like forehead, his little dark grey eyes, and an immense white moustache, which drooped and spread below the level of his strong jaw, he had a patriarchal look, and in spite of lean cheeks and hollows at his temples, seemed master of perennial youth. He held himself upright, end his shrewd, steady eyes lost none of their clear shining. Thus he gave an impression of superiority to the doubts and dislikes of smaller men.

Joke

Two elderly Englishmen were talking about young people in our day. One of them said, “young-people now are so different from what we were thirty years ago. Look at that young person with short hair smoking a cigarette and wearing jeans. What is it - a boy or a girl? It's impossible to say”.

“It's a girl”, said a middle-aged person sitting near them on a bench.

“I'm sorry, sir”, said the first Englishman. “I suppose you are her father”.

“I'm not”, was the answer. “I'm her mother”.
