Excerpt from The Inheritors: An Extravagant Story
I had looked at her before; now I cast a sideways, critical glance at her. I came out of my moodiness to wonder what type this was. She had good hair, good eyes, and some charm. Yes. And something besides - a something - a something that was not an attribute of her beauty. The modelling of her face was so perfect and so delicate as to produce an effect of transparency, yet there was no suggestion of frailness; her glance had an extraordinary strength of life. Her hair was fair and gleaming, her cheeks coloured as if a warm light had fallen on them from somewhere. She was familiar till it occurred to you that she was strange.
Which way are you going? She asked. I am going to walk to Dover, I answered. And I may come with you?
I looked at her - intent on divining her in that one glance. It was of course impossible. There will be time for analysis, I thought.
