The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Emma by Jane Austen: would not allow it to have a sickly hue in general; and there was
a softness and delicacy in her skin which gave peculiar elegance
to the character of her face." He listened with all due deference;
acknowledged that he had heard many people say the same--but yet he
must confess, that to him nothing could make amends for the want
of the fine glow of health. Where features were indifferent,
a fine complexion gave beauty to them all; and where they were good,
the effect was--fortunately he need not attempt to describe what the
effect was.
"Well," said Emma, "there is no disputing about taste.--At least
you admire her except her complexion."
