Lucy was looking sweetly pretty in her white lawn frock. She has got a beautiful colour since she has been here. I noticed that the old men did not lose any time in coming and sitting near her when we sat down. She is so sweet with old people, I think they all fell in love with her on the spot.
– Bram Stoker
Dracula, Chapter 6. Mina in her diary describes Lucy as gentle and sweet and physically attractive to men. She is the "New Woman" who delights any man.
