She turned to look at him—or as it seemed to Charles, through him. It was not so much what was positively in that face which remained with him after that first meeting, but all that was not as he had expected; for theirs was an age when the favored feminine look was the demure, the obedient, the shy. Charles felt immediately as if he had trespassed; as if the Cobb belonged to that face, and not to the Ancient Borough of Lyme. It was not a pretty face, like Ernestina’s. It was certainly not a beautiful face, by any period’s standard or taste. But it was an unforgettable face, and a tragic face. Its sorrow welled out of it as purely, naturally and unstoppably as water out of a woodland spring. There was no artifice there, no hypocrisy, no hysteria, no mask; and above all, no sign of madness. The madness was in the empty sea, the empty horizon, the lack of reason for such sorrow; as if the spring was natural in itself; but unnatural in welling from a desert.
他轉過身看向他，不過，在查爾斯看來，她仿佛看穿了他。初次邂逅後，令查爾斯難以忘懷的不是她臉上表現出來的東西，而是她表現出的神色與他的預料不同。他們生活的年代，受歡迎的女性形象是端莊嫻靜、順從心意、嬌羞可愛的。查爾斯立刻感到，似乎整條科布堤並不屬於古老的萊姆鎮，而是屬於這張臉，而他就像是一個闖進了她的領地的外來者。她不像歐內斯蒂娜那樣美麗，就任何時期的審美標準來說，她的臉都談不上是一張美麗的麵龐。不過，這是一張令人難以忘懷的麵容，一張麵帶愁容的麵容。她的臉上流露出的儘是憂傷，就像泉水從林中噴泉湧現一樣，既自然又無休無止。她的臉上沒有詭計，沒有虛情假意，沒有歇斯底裡，也沒有偽善的麵具；最重要的是，沒有絲毫神經錯亂的痕跡。這種憂傷，隻屬於蒼茫的大海和空曠的地平線。自作多情的悲傷，就好像噴泉，其本身很自然，但從沙漠中出現就很不尋常。
Again and again, afterwards, Charles thought of that look as a lance; and to think so is of course not merely to describe an object but the effect it has. He felt himself in that brief instant an unjust enemy; both pierced and deservedly diminished.
