She had fair\u003cbr\u003efloating hair, which the breeze blew into her eyes, and between the\u003cbr\u003ecloud of hair, and the mist of tears, she could not see her work very\u003cbr\u003eclearly. She neither tied up her locks, nor dried her eyes, however;\u003cbr\u003efor when one is miserable, one may as well be completely so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"What is the matter?\" said the Doctor, who was a friend of the\u003cbr\u003eRector's, and came into the garden whenever he pleased.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Doctor was a tall stout man, with hair as black as crow's feathers\u003cbr\u003eon the top, and grey underneath, and a bushy beard. When young, he had\u003cbr\u003ebeen slim and handsome, with wonderful eyes, which were wonderful\u003cbr\u003estill; but that was many years past.

It's all about forgetting, and not putting away, and leaving\u003cbr\u003eabout, and borrowing, and breaking, and that sort of thing.
