| 1 | Author: | Wharton, Edith, 1862-1937 | Add | | Title: | The Pelican | | | Published: | 1995 | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | Description: | SHE was very pretty when I first knew her, with the sweet straight
nose and short upper lip of the cameo-brooch divinity, humanized by
a dimple that flowered in her cheek whenever anything was said
which possessed the outward attributes of humor without its
intrinsic quality. For the dear lady was providentially deficient
in humor: the least hint of the real thing clouded her lovely eye
like the hovering shadow of an algebraic problem. | | Similar Items: | Find |
