Mrs. Stringham was never to forget-for the moment had not faded, nor the infinitely fine vibration it set up in any degree ceased-her own first sight of the striking apparition, then unheralded and unexplained: the slim, constantly pale, delicately haggard, anomalously, agreeably angular young person, of not more than two-and-twenty in spite of her marks, whose hair was some how exceptionally red even for the real thing, which it innocently confessed to being, and whose clothes were remarkably black even for robes of mourning, which was the meaning they expressed.

Henry James

"A Fearful Responsibility and Other Stories"
William D. Howells
When Herzen was sent to the Urals as a dangerous person, he was appointed, very anomalously-perhaps it was to keep him there-to an administrative and judicial post, in which he would have apparently to sentence others while under sentence himself; but he grew weary of his banishment, and was permitted to exchange it for the more complete, but much more agreeable, banishment from Russia altogether.
