 | | Katla was an aging beauty whose inquisitive brown eyes showed flashes of a youthful exuberance that seemed almost out of place on her delicate, dignified countenance. |
 | | She looked ten years old as she struck this particular pose, small and mischievous in the richly furred, oversized hat and simple earthen-hued dress, looking for all the world like a fair-skinned, green-eyed little elf waif that had materialized fully formed from the fertile imagination of a tale-telling old-mother at story time. |
