She had the look ...
Hi
A certain lady looked at a nurse and thought to herself:
She had the look, crisp, sensible, reliable, slightly antiseptic; and her clothes had
the restrained gaudiness which is the natural reaction to uniform.
Do the words "crisp, sensible, reliable, slightly antiseptic" describe her outward appearance? Her face?
I understand that her clothes had "the restrained gaudiness" (which probably means "were slightly glaring") but why is it the natural reaction to uniform?
