Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In the Three Zones
In this town were many girls with pretty faces there, under that cold, concise sky of the North, they grew up; their intellects preternaturally acute, their nervous systems strung to breaking pitch, their physical growth so backward that at twenty their figures would be ?at. We were intimate with them in a mental fellowship. Not that we boys of twenty did not have our prefer ences, but they were preferences of mere companionship; so that the magnanimous confidence of English America was justified; and anyone of us could be alone with her he preferred from morn to midnight, if he chose, and no one be the wiser or the worse. But there was one exceptional girl in B Althea Hardy. Her father was a rich ship builder; and his father, a sea-captain, had married her grandmother in Catania, island of Sicily. With Althea Hardy, I think, I was in love.
