how are Celina and Guerrabella occupied? You see
Guerrabella has a pencil in her hand. She is sketching a head; if we
look closely, we shall probably recognize our own, grotesquely drawn,
for there is no denying that our young genius is fond of caricaturing
her friends. Celina sits by a table; her large, open eyes have a
distant, dreamy expression. Her pen moves rapidly across the page; she
is writing a Musical Recollection, we may presume.

"Guerrabella is the youngest of the group. She is tall, picturesque,
imposing. Her face is radiant with blushes, dimples, and smiles. She
looks so fresh and beautiful that she might have set for Greuze's
picture of 'Sweet Sixteen.' A sense of thorough enjoyment flashes from
the bright, blue-gray eyes, and is indicated by the rose-bloom on cheek
and lips. There is an air of strength and courage perceptible, and a
certain dash in her manner that associates her with Scott's favorite
heroine, Di Vernon. She has great mimic powers, and might adorn the
histrionic stage. Towards art and literature she seems equally

after a classic model, and the mass of amber-hued hair which crowns it
might be taken for an aureola. Her pansy-like eyes are full of sweet,
poetic vision. The brow is marked by delicately defined eyebrows, and
the eyelashes are long and silken. 'Tis a melodic countenance,
foreshadowing that dream-world from which our young heroine has never
for a moment awakened. Too _petite_, some might deem her, for womanly
perfection; but physical symmetry, ease, and a dignified bearing
elevate the fairy figure to the true standard. She moves about with an
airy grace, and nothing earthly is lighter than her footfall. Her
small, delicate hands grace the keyboard, and music in her has an
enchanting interpreter.
