Excerpt from The Spitfire

Lastly, there was Miss Polly Thurman, a rela tive of Aunt Mary, just loosed from the cocoon of boarding school. She was tiny and plump, utterly irresponsible, very pretty, and very con scious of the latter fact. Her eyes were big and blue. Her voice was merrily metallic, a quality that sand - papered the soul of Marcus Girard and was unconducive to the concentration of business thought. He once remarked that a choice between Polly's shrill idiocy and Aunt Mary's cold blooded tranquillity would spell arsenic.
