From Ian Fleming's "Casino Royale"


CHAPTER 3



(Of Vesper Lynd)


Her hair was very black, and she wore it cut square and low on the nape of the neck, framing her face to below the clean and beautiful line of her jaw. Although it was heavy and moved with the movements of her head, she did not constantly pat it back into place, but let it alone. Here eyes were wide apart and deep blue, and they gazed candidly back at Bond with a touch of ironical disinterest which, to his annoyance, he found he would like to shatter, roughly.
