How charming she was in her uniform, her soft hair escaping in little tendrils from beneath her cap -- worn with such a becoming air . . . When Victor saw her in her own cottage, she always appealed to him in a special way. He would often picture her as his wife . . . He hated telling her that his mother was absolutely against their marriage . . .'
