Passage Complemented

Harry Trelyon had a cousin named Juliott Penaluna, who lived at Penzance with her father, an irascible old clergyman, who, while yet a poor curate, had the good fortune to marry Mrs. Trelyon's sister. Miss Juliott was a handsome, healthy, English-looking girl, with blue eyes and brown hair, frank enough in her ways, fairly well-read, fond of riding and driving, and very especially fond of her cousin. [Chapter V, "Throwing a Fly," 365 in The Cornhill Magazine, Vol. XXX]
