Excerpt from The Ballingtons: A Novel
I don't want to talk, either. I want to be impolite and still, he went on severely. You ought to want to be still, too, after singing like that.
Another college girl, who had come with Agnes, at this moment joined them. It was her first opportunity to escape from perfunctory conversation with the third man of the Bal lingtou family.
As she drew Agnes down beside her on the lounge near Tom's chair, the light from the chandelier fell upon her heavy hair, changing it from brown to bronze. Her face was not beautiful, but it had a power and a kind of sardonic sweetness which compensated for beauty. A pair of straight black brows marked her face, and impenetrable gray eyes looked out from beneath them. Miriam Cass was five years Older than Agnes and was as well-known in the scientific and art life of Winston College as was Agnes in its social life.
