My colloquy was interrupted by the sudden appearance at the door of a cheery smile, followed closely by a young woman.
 
Name (discovered later), estimated age, and visual description of smiling young woman:

Chlöe Calloway, about thirty. Tall; slender; shoulder-length dark hair; eyes green though with a hint of azure; high forehead; slender nose; lips comparable to cherry wine; hearty cheeks; long, graceful neck; well-developed though not pendulous breasts; waist comparable to that of a butterfly; well-designed hips; well-turned calves; well-arched feet; painted toenails (probably); vestal (possibly); availability (no visible ring). Clothed initially in a red parka, which was slowly removed to reveal an attire bringing to mind a poem by Robert Herrick (1591-1674), written, I estimated, at a time of his life somewhat older than my own.
 
Poem brought to mind:
Upon Julia’s Clothes

Whenas in silks my Julia goes,
Then, then, methinks, how sweetly flows
That liquefaction of her clothes.

​Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free,
O how that glittering taketh me!
