"...now about fifty years of age, who had been a great beauty, and who was still handsome in her advanced age. Her figure was very good. She was tall and of fine proportion.... She was a comely, handsome, upright dame,- one of whom, as regards her outward appearance, England might be proud.... She had come of the family of the Worcestershire Fitzgeralds, of whom it used to be said that there never was one who was not beautiful and worthless" - Can You Forgive Her?
