HISS I. SCOTT MURRAY.

564

This applicant at first sight is not impressive.

She is short, only moderately good-looking, and slightly

common-place looking. But she has a particularly eager

and enthusiastic manner; almost fervent, she seems to be

full of intellectual curiosity, with something of the spirit

of adventure in her, Her intellectual acquirements are good; and she has had adequate professional experience of a good

kind.

If her enthusiasm of manner is translated into enerEY

of action, she is sure to do well,

If I had been taking the interview alone, I should

have hesitated to make a strong recommendation in her favour,

owing to her lack of personal distinction. But Mr. Taner

is perfectly satisfied with her, and holds that she is precise-

ly the kind of lady whom they want in Hong Kong. He knows the

requirements. He rates her very much higher than the applicants

whom he had recently seen further south, and holds that she

should be accepted at once.
