Not a flattering description

The three rooms of the Llewes suite were directly below the Kirk apartment. The door was opened in response to the Inspector's ring by an angular maid with cubistic cheeks and an unlovely pointed nose. She began to protest in a weak whining Cockney voice, but then she saw the Sergeant and fell back gaping.
