Images of Catherine Sloper. She was a healthy, well grown child. She was not ugly; she had simply a plain, dull, gentle countenance. The most that had ever been said for her was that she had a "nice" face. Though she was an heiress, no one had ever thought of her as a belle. Click

Images of the Couple. What Morris had told Catherine was simply that he loved her. Now he had affirmed it in lover's vows, and, as a memorable sign of it, he had taken a kiss.
