Synopsis
Excerpt from Wreckage: Seven Studies
She was bareheaded, and her crisp, auburn hair was riotously tumbling about her ears and neck.
Quite pale was her skin, but pale, transparent, soft; exquisite was the modelling of her fresh, firm lips.
There were great possibilities of beauty in the face; but now an all-absorbing look filled it, the forehead puckered over the eyebrows, the lips set tight together.
A little way off, on the grass, 3. Young man, in a grey flannel suit, was lying on his back, his face shaded by her big-brimmed straw hat, inside the ribbon of which were tucked some bunches of primroses; one hand thrust in the armhole of his waistcoat, the other thrown back over his head the limp abandon of his pose betrayed that he was asleep.
