      Mike: Try to describe her. What does she look like?
      Alice: A tall slim girl of 18 with an oval face.
      Mike: Complexion?
      Alice: Rather pale.
      Mike: Hair?
      Alice: She’s fair-haired with light grey eyes. She has a small
straight nose 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! She’s a dimple 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 slim girl with a dimple
on her left cheek.

      b) Grace: Why don’t you dance with Henry?
      Beatrice: Because we make such a funny pair; he’s short and
broad and stocky, and I’m tall and thin.
      Grace: Nonsense, my dear. He isn’t short, only medium height,
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 all, 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.
