They stood and stared at each other so long that presently Emma grew nervous and came down the garden path to hear what it was all about.

ANTIQUE

A lady in a cowl of lawn

With straight bound tabs and muted eyes,

And lips fair thin and deftly drawn

And oddly wise.

A cameo, a ruff of lace,

A neck cut square with corners laid;

A thin Greek nose and near the face
