A vision of innocence against the grimy backdrop of Victorian London, she lifted her eyes from the worn floorboards to yours. A soft, natural smile graced her rose-petal lips, and a glimmer of hopeful curiosity shone in her light blue gaze. A blush, as delicate as the one painted on for the stage, warmed her cheeks as she studied you in the quiet sanctuary, her demeanor sweetly bashful.
