"Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town"
"a small, fat woman in black"
"with a thin gold chain descending to her waist and vanishing into her belt, leaning on an ebony cane with a tarnished gold head. Her skeleton was small and spare"
"obesity"
"She looked bloated, like a body long submerged in motionless water, and of that pallid hue. Her eyes, lost in the fatty ridges of her face, looked like two small pieces of coal pressed into a lump of dough as they moved"
"Her voice was dry and cold"
"her upright torso motionless as that of an ido"
"She carried her head high"
"her face like a strained flag"
"she had grown fat and her hair was turning gray"
"until it attained an even pepper-and-salt iron-gray,"
"her death at seventy-four it"
"She died in one of the downstairs rooms, in a heavy walnut bed with a curtain, her gray head propped on a pillow yellow and moldy with age and lack of sunlight."
