Miss Ramsey is a dark-eyed, dark-haired girl of nearly the length of two lady's umbrellas and the bulk of one closely folded in its sheath. She stands with her elbow supported on the corner of the mantel, her temple resting on the knuckle of a thin, nervous hand, in an effect of thoughtful absent-mindedness. Miss Garnett, more or less Merovingian in a costume that lends itself somewhat reluctantly to a low, thick figure, is apparently poising for departure, as she stands before the chair from which she has risen beside Miss Ramsey's tea-table and looks earnestly up into Miss Ramsey's absent face. Both are very young, but aim at being much older than they are, with occasional lapses into extreme girlhood . MISS GARNETT:

MR. ASHLEY:

Contains 23 words in 2 sentences using 118 chars .

He pauses, as if bewildered at the spectacle of Miss Ramsey's resolute practice with the cigarette, which she now takes from her lips and waves before her face with innocent recklessness . MISS RAMSEY, chokingly :

Contains 6 words in 2 sentences using 30 chars .

She reaches the box to him . ASHLEY:

She hides her face in her hands and rushes from the room, overturning several chairs in her course toward the door. Ashley remains staring after her, while a succession of impetuous rings make themselves heard from the street door. There is a sound of opening it, and then a flutter of skirts and anxieties, and Miss Garnett comes running into the room . MISS GARNETT, to the maid hovering in the doorway :

ASHLEY:

Contains 3 words in 1 sentence using 14 chars .

MISS GARNETT:

Contains 51 words in 1 sentence using 252 chars .

She catches herself up and runs out of the room, leaving Ashley to await the retarded descent of skirts which he hears on the stairs after the crash of the street door has announced Miss Garnett's escape. He stands with his back to the mantel, and faces Miss Ramsey as she enters the room . MISS RAMSEY, with the effect of cold surprise :

Contains 10 words in 3 sentences using 54 chars .

ASHLEY:

Contains 13 words in 2 sentences using 60 chars .

MISS RAMSEY, with starting tears :

Contains 5 words in 1 sentence using 22 chars .

She has let her lovely length trail into the corner of the sofa, where she desperately reclines, supporting her elbow on the arm of it, and resting her drooping head on her hand. He draws a hassock up in front of her, and sits on it . ASHLEY:

Contains 16 words in 2 sentences using 86 chars .

MISS RAMSEY, in a hollow voice :

Contains 15 words in 1 sentence using 67 chars .

ASHLEY:

ASHLEY, gathering himself up from his hassock with difficulty, and confronting her :

Contains 45 words in 2 sentences using 195 chars .

MISS RAMSEY, thoughtfully :

Contains 16 words in 2 sentences using 77 chars .

Flashingly, and with starting tears . ASHLEY:

Contains 14 words in 2 sentences using 65 chars .

He stretches his arms toward her . MISS RAMSEY, recoiling bewildered :
