Peter Mowbray first saw her at the corner of Palace Square nearest
the river. He was not in the least the kind of young man who
appraises passing women, very far from a starer. At the instant
their eyes met, his thoughts had been occupied with work matters
and the trickery of events. In fact, there was so much to do that
he resented the intrusion, found himself hoping in the first flash
that she would show some flaw to break the attraction. It may have
been that her eyes were called to the passer-by just as his had
been, without warning or volition. In any event their eyes met
full, leisurely in that stirring silence before the consciousness
of self, time, place and convention rushes in. ... Though she
seemed very poor, there was something about her beyond reach in
nobility. He was left with the impression of the whitest skin, the
blackest hair and the reddest lips, but mainly of a gray-eyed
girl-eyes that had become wider and wider, and had filled with
sudden amazement (doubtless at her own answering look) before they
turned away.
