John Lascelles

John Lascelles

His manly graces were indeed bewitching and overpowering, and to behold him was to look as an eagle would into the sun. The united attractions of his height and figure, his fair hair and keen blue eyes, set into a warm complexion, produced the best part of beauty that any one man can possess. There was also a spirited archness of air in his manner, which suggested a quickness of mind and a set of senses that would not easily find their equal.

Cassandra Ashton-Dennis

Cassandra Ashton-Dennis

She stood at a pretty height, just tall and slender enough to lend the proportions of her figure to a comeliness that was all health and animation. Her lively intelligent, hazel eyes shone through a complexion that was as fine as it was pure, and her well-formed narrow nose was set in symmetry against a high, full and blooming cheek. Her hair was of a rich brown hue that naturally curled about her face and her delicate mouth bore a saucy smile that she was yet unconscious of revealing. Her entire expression seemed heightened by emotion, in color and aspect, and gave her a mesmerizing air of sentience that disclosed something of her remarkable perspicacity.
