Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sapho: Manon Lescaut
He failed to understand these advances, imagined that he was cutting an exceedingly absurd figure, and took refuge in the cool shadows of the glass gallery, where a divan was placed against the wall under the plants. That woman had come at once, and taken a seat by his side.
Young, beautiful? He could not have told. From the long sheath of blue woolen stuff, in which her full figure swayed with an undulating motion, emerged two round and shapely arms bare to the shoulder; and her little hands laden with rings, her wide-open gray eyes increased in apparent size by the curious iron ornaments hanging from her forehead, formed a harmonious whole.
