Patricia Highsmith Quotes

Their Eyes Met At The Same Instant Moment, Therese Glancing Up From A Box She Was Opening, And The Woman Just Turning Her Head So She Looked Directly At Therese. She Was Tall And Fair, Her Long Figure Graceful In The Loose Fur Coat That She Held Open With A Hand On Her Waist, Her Eyes Were Grey, Colorless, Yet Dominant As Light Or Fire, And, Caught By Them, Therese Could Not Look Away. She Heard The Customer In Front Of Her Repeat A Question, And Therese Stood There, Mute. The Woman Was Looking At Therese, Too, With A Preoccupied Expression, As If Half Her Mind Were On Whatever Is Was She Meant To Buy Here, And Though There Were A Number Of Salesgirls Between Them, There Felt Sure The Woman Would Come To Her, Then, Then Therese Saw Her Walk Slowly Towards The Counter, Heard Her Heart Stumble To Catch Up With The Moment It Had Let Pass, And Felt Her Face Grow Hot As The Woman Came Nearer And Nearer.
