The Beauty of a Woman

I looked back at my cousin who began to ask me questions in her low,
thrilling voice. It was the kind of voice that the ear follows
 up and down as if each speech is an arrangement of notes that
 will never be played again. Her face was sad and lovely
 with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright
passionate mouth-but there was an excitement in her
voice that men who had cared for her found difficult
to forget: a singing compulsion, a whispered "Listen,"
a promise that she had done gay, exciting things
just a while since and that there were gay, exciting things
hovering in the next hour. (pg.13)
