Chapter V
Rebecca, walking beside Rose, looked like a woman of another race. She was much taller, and her full, luxuriant young figure looked tropical beside Rose's slender one. Her body undulated as she walked, but Rose moved only with forward flings of delicate limbs. "I've got to carry these eggs down to the store and get some sugar," said Rebecca. Rose assented, absently.
