“I squeezed my way through the crowd and saw a marvelous beauty, who could scarcely have reached her first season. But the beauty was pale and melancholy. She looked preoccupied; I even fancied that her eyes were red with recent weeping. The classic severity of every feature of her face gave a certain dignity and seriousness to her beauty. But through that sternness and dignity, through that melancholy, could be seen the look of childish innocence; something indescribably naïve, fluid, youthful, which seemed mutely begging for mercy.”

“Rachel laughs out loud when people call her pretty. It's always older or middle-aged women who say it. The women say it in the type of way that conveys that they have nothing to else to offer - no specifics. It comes out ragged and awful, always, not because Rachel doesn't believe she is capable of some kind of beauty, but because she knows she doesn't have the beauty that these middle-aged women want, and that they are lying through their teeth.”
