Text 1

He saw a tall, handsome woman dressed with careful and expensive informality in a black cashmere sweater with a silk scarf at the throat and fawn trousers. It was a distinguished face with deep-set, widely-spaced eyes beneath straight brows, a well-shaped, rather secretive mouth and strong, graying hair swept upwards and curled into a chignon.

Text 2

She wore a pale blue sweater and a grey flannel skirt, schoolgirl’s clothes, which made her seem younger than her age. She was about twenty-five. Her face was framed by thick hair, in a colour midway between blonde and brown, and held back by a black velvet band. The skin was fine and she had large, rather beautiful dark blue eyes, with long colourless lashes.

Temple was a small stocky man in his early forties. His jaw line had long ago disappeared into one of his chins. His pepper and salt hair was cut short with a parting in the middle and he had a dark bushy drooping moustache that grew well over his top lip. His nose was small, almost snub, and his eyes were pale.
