I am using an excerpt from " Sondok, Princess of the Moon and Stars" by Sheri Holman.
"Lord Lin Fang is even more imposing up close than at a distance. He has a thin gray beard and eyebrows so overgrown they curl like tiger's whiskers. His gaze is knowing and serious and he seems to hold a million secrets. Father presented me and I bowed deeply. Lord Lin Fang seemed surprised to see me, a girl, at such an important gathering, and even more startled to learn I was my father's heir."
So Lord Lin Fang is a very mysterious man. Sondok (the narrator of the story) seems at awe when she sees him. He is obviously dissapointed in the princess (Sondok) and doesnt widh to speak with her or get to know her. The writing in this passage (and throughout the rest of the book) is very simple. probably geared towards younger audiences.
