Mr. St. John came but once: he looked at me,

and added, after a pause, in the tone of a man little accustomed to expansive comment,

"Rather an unusual physiognomy; certainly, not indicative of vulgarity or degradation."
“一张不同一般的脸，倒没有庸俗下贱之相。”
"Far otherwise," responded Diana. "To speak truth, St. John, my heart rather warms to the poor little soul.

但愿我们永远能够帮助她。”
