"As she dialled the number, I noticed that her finger-nails were painted emerald green, a colour unfortunately chosen, for it called attention to her hands, which were much stained by cigarette smoking and as dirty as a little girl's. She was dark enough to be Fritz's sister. Her face was long and thin, powdered dead white. She had very large brown eyes which should have been darker to match her hair and the pencil she used fo her eyebrows...
"A few days later he took me to hear Sally sing.... I was curious to see how Sally would behave. I had imagined her for some reason, rather nervous, but she wasn't, in the least. She had a surprisingly deep husky voice. She sang badly, without any expression, her hands hanging down at her sides-yet her performance was, in its own way, effective because of her startling appearance and her air of not caring a curse what people thought of her."
