"If she has...a certain expression of amusement in her glance which her mouth keeps the secret of...If you made her smile, she would show you perfect little teeth; if you made her angry, she would not raise her voice, but would probably say one of the bitterest things you have ever tasted the flavour of; if you did her a kindness, she would never forget it."
George Eliot, Middlemarch
describing Mary Garth
