Mr. Collin is walking slowly to his relatives' estate.

The signs of so visible fatigue gave him an odd note:

Sweat-wrees filled his forehead and cheeks, his clothes clung to the body, his hands hung innedly past his
small and unusually thin body, leaving the impression of an effeminate body.
As he entered the house, he was still struck by the unreal and almost magical beauty of one of his cousins.

the suppleness of her body, the grace and elegance that her gestures and movements gave off, the
irregular features of her face, gave her an extraordinary beauty.
