“For the next nine months, Sylvia would report on campus trends, politics, tastes, style. It was an honor, but it was grueling. Sylvia was overworked. She had boyfriend problems. She longed for Europe. She broke her leg in a skiing accident. Her best friend, Marcia Brown, had gotten engaged and moved off campus - other girls were away on their junior year abroad. The whole campus seemed mired in some bleak haze- there were suicide attempts, abortions, disappearances, and hasty marriages. Sylvia coped with shopping binges in downtown Northhampton- sheer blouses, French pumps, red cashmere sweaters, white skirts, and tight black pullovers - clothes more suited to voguish amusements than studying. Everyone wanted to be one of Mademoiselle's guest editors, but Sylvia needed it - some shot of glamour to pull her out of the mud.”

“Un día, después de hacer el amor, se sintió generoso, lo que no le ocurría casi nunca, y preguntó a Tránsito Soto si le gustaría que le hiciera un regalo. -¡Préstame cincuenta pesos, patrón! -pidió ella al punto. -Es mucha plata. ¿Para qué la quieres? -Para un pasaje en tren, un vestido rojo, unos zapatos con tacón, un frasco de perfume y para hacerme la permanente. Es todo lo que necesito para empezar. Se los voy a devolver algún día, patrón. Con intereses. Esteban le dio los cincuenta pesos porque ese día había vendido cinco novillos y andaba con los bolsillos repletos de billetes, y también porque la fatiga del placer satisfecho lo ponía algo sentimental. -Lo único que siento es que no te voy a volver a ver, Tránsito. Me había acostumbrado a ti. - Si nos vamos a ver, patrón. La vida es larga y tiene muchas vueltas.”

“So, you play Batman at night, and fix-it man during the day?" His nose wrinkled in a way that was entirely too adorable for his tough guy demeanor. She didn't say a word about it though, knowing he'd never do it again if she pointed it out. "Batman? Batman's a pathetic jelly donut. He's a little Richie Rich that prances 'round in fancy tights and dress up panties, too much of a wuss to do anythin' without a mask and a prepubescent scarecrow as a sidekick.”
