That said, descriptions that are qualitative rather than descriptive are not as helpful. No one should presume a quality such as beauty, and so on. They may be useful as quick shorthand, but they do not hold much power or meaning in trying to fuel the imagination. "Beautiful" should be the assumed normal in RP land (just like in movie-land) anyway ^^.
