Alice: I say Mike, I’ve just had a wire from Mary. She’s coming with the 5.30 train. And I have a meeting at 5. Will you do me a favour and meet her at the station?
Mike: I’ve never seen her, how could I possibiy recognize her?
Alice: Oh, it’s quite easy, she’s just like her mother.
Mike: Most helpfull I’m sure, but the trouble is I’ve never seen her mother either.
Alice: I’m sorry, I forgot. And I’m afraid I haven't any photos of her.
Mike: Try to describe her. What does she look like?
Alice: A tall slender girl of 18 with an oval face.
Mike: Compiexion?
Alice: Rather pale.
Mike: Hair?
Alice: Fair and bobbed. Light grey eyes, deep-set, a small straight nose, a big mouth with white, even teeth and a pleasant smile.
Mike: I’m sure there’ll be at least a dozen girls like that at the station.
Alice: Oh, I’d clean forgotten! There's a mole as big as a pea on her left cheek!
Mike: That’ll help me for sure. Go to your meeting. I promise to be on the platform at 5 sharp in search of a slender girl with a mole on her left cheek.

Grace: Why don’t you dance with Henry?
Beatrice: Because we make such a funny pair: he’s short and broad and strong, and I'm tall, thin and pale.
Grace: Nonsense, my dear. He isn't short, only medium height, and you are just a trifle above the middle size. And he dances perfectly, I can tell you.
Beatrice: I know he does. But I prefer dancing with Billy. For all his long legs and lean figure Billy's a very good dancer, isn't he?
Grace: Yes, he is, and I like his face. It may be ugly, but there's something awfully nice about it.
Beatrice: But he isn't ugly at an, especially when he smiles and shows those perfect teeth of his.
Grace: Still, Henry's decidedly handsome, which Bill is not.
Beatrice: But there's something unkind in the look of his grey eyes. I always feel uncomfortable when he looks at me.
