Frances had been expecting an elderly personage with spectacles and grey crimps ; she was surprised to find that the minister 's sister was a girl of about her own age and possessed of a distinct worldly prettiness . Corona was dark , with a different darkness from that of Frances , who had ivory outlines and blue-black hair , while Corona was dusky and piquant .

I am not strong enough to walk far yet -- or do anything useful , in fact , and Elliott so seldom has time to take me out . '' `` Where shall we go ?

He has been so sick -- '' `` Aunt Eleanor positively forbade that , '' said Frances dubiously . `` Will it be safe to disobey her ?
