When a body is composed of parts smooth polished and not pressing each other without confusion we call it elegant. A thing that is elegant will not be laughed at. Elegance never appears forced it appears easy and natural even when it is not. Elegance doesnt need luxury or riches but offers value usefulness and purpose.

Jane Fairfax was very elegant remarkably elegant and she had the highest value for elegance. Her height was pretty just such as almost every body would think tall and nobody could think very tall her figure particularly graceful her size a most becoming medium between fat and thin though a slight appearance of illhealth seemed to point out the likeliest evil of the two.
