Everything had a dingy and faded appearance, very disagreeable and unroyal to a European eye.”

    “When one of us sees a good-looking guy, we nudge the other one and smile. One guy had the most gorgeous face I had ever seen. Every time we go to the mall we look around for 'that guy' just in case.”
