They are petite and dark, dark-haired, with dark frisky eyes, and mostly dark attire; they have tiny hands and feet, as required by the lyrics of old chivalry, and they look as if they were just on their way to confession, that is,they are saintly and rather sinful in appearance.
An illustration from the book Letters From Spain written and illustrated by Karel Capek, translated by Paul Selver, published by George Bles, London, 1931. Capek, (1890-1938), the Czech writer best known for his plays, wrote a number of travel books in an amused and urbane style which suffused his accompanying drawings as well. He invented the word 'robot'.
