Excerpt from Through Mocking Bird Gap
Georgia, herself, if not as gloriously beautiful as the mountains, was good to look upon. Not too tall, she had the firm, rounded figure Of a young girl, with the quickness and agility of a boy. Her hair was yellow and rather curly, and her skin, which in a kinder climate might have been prettily pink, was tanned to a warm brown. It was her eyes, however, which gave her her first claim to good looks. They were of an old Irish blue, with a Killarney twinkle in them; eyes that we re not above giving you a bit of blarney now and then, when their owner wanted something rather badly; eyes that had been brought over from the Old sod by Mr. Phelps' maternal grandmother, and which had turned a trick or two long before they came to Georgia.
