Her Covent Garden Ladies Entry:

‘Tis not her face that love creates,
For there no graces revel:
‘Tis not her shape, for there the fates
Are plaguily uncivil.
Her voice, her touch might give th’ alarm;
‘Twas both perchance, or neither;
In short, 'twas that bewitching charm
Of Celia altogether.

So says Mr. Whitehead, and so may Miss B——t, say of herself. Beauty is but a very small part of what is to be esteemed agreeable. So would say this lady, and indeed with very great truth, as her example evidences: for though her face is no more than mediocre, and her mouth seems, by its largeness, prepared to swallow up whoever may have courage enough to approach her; while her chin, which is flat, and, in the language of sailors, peaked; seems to jet out to sustain what she intended to devour; yet such is the recommendation which social qualifications give, that there are few who merit, or meet with more regard. She is of a fair complexion, blue eyes, and good teeth, and her expectations are as moderate as can be wished, considering she is but a young beginner, under six months.
