Excerpt from Journey's End
Amory, sitting on the edge of the table, his hands in his pockets, merely smiled at this graphic pic ture.
You will marry, Caroline continued, cocking her head at him, a girl who parts her hair in the middle, a girl with big eyes and the disposition of an angel and the ambition of a cow. And the worst of it is that you will be contented, Amory.
What do you want me to do? Asked her brother, grinning in spite of himself.
You are too good for such a fate, pronounced Caroline. You are too good-looking, Amory. You really have a manner; even I perceive it. You are actually distinguished and that little air of courteous dignity suits your style to a T. You have beautiful gray eyes and a mouth like a Greek statue, and if you weren't my brother, I should fall upon your neck and insist on remaining there!
