The girl, the girl had nothing but a little black dress with a black lace handkerchief tied around her hair (which we thought must have been the fashion in the country where she came from). It didn't matter ... the first words which had flown through the air had painted her in another way and with beautiful colours; that description still served.Or
This is when she reappeared; and there was great joy on the mountains. She walked forward, she walked beneath her silk scarf; as she walked forward, we could see the long fringe slide up the length of her legs, then split to fall along each rounded side of them. She placed her lovely bare feet on the stones. And then, suddenly the yellow shawl was gone, - at the same time Decosterd pushed the Juliette [the boat the fishermen have named after her] into the water, at the same time the mountains shone bright, the fish were jumping out of the water. - but she was shining now too, her bare arms shone, her broad shoulders shone.
