She exemplified the Parisian vernocular. Without an extra pound, without jewelry or makeup, without piercings or tattoos - Mon Dieu! - her hair brushed up and away from her face, held in an easy ponytail, she was dressed with exquisitely simple taste, everything of the most subtle colors and quality, and her appearance radiated graceful self-possession. She could not have come from anywhere else.
