“I see,' agreed Rule. 'You are going to be the Sacrifice.'
She looked up at him rather shyly. 'It c-can't signify to you, can it? Except that I know I'm not a Beauty, like L-Lizzie. But I have got the Nose, sir.'
Rule surveyed the Nose. 'Undoubtedly, you have the Nose,' he said.
Horatia seemed determined to make a clean breast of her blemishes. 'And p-perhaps you could become used to my eyebrows?'
The smile lurked at the back of Rule's eyes. 'I think, quite easily.'
She said sadly: 'They won't arch, you know. And I ought to't-tell you that we have quite given up hope of my g-growing any taller.'
'It would certainly be a pity if you did,' said his lordship.
'D-do you think so?' Horatia was surprised. 'It is a great trial to me, I can assure you.' She took a breath, and added, with difficulty: 'You m-may have n-noticed that I have a - a stammer.'
'Yes, I had noticed,' the Earl answered gently.
'If you f-feel you c-can't bear it, sir, I shall quite understand,' Horatia said in a small, anxious voice.
'I like it,'said the Earl.”
