`` Was it Murillo , the black-eyed one ? '' asked the fair Cutter , for the girls had a name for all the attitudinizers and promenaders whom they oftenest met . `` No , he had gray eyes , and very fine ones they were too , '' answered Psyche , adding , as if to herself , `` he looked as I imagine Michael Angelo might have looked when young .
