Quote preview background for Patricia Highsmith
The word __arriage_ lingered in Guy__ ears, too. It was a solemn word to him. It had the primordial solemnity of holy, love, sin. It was Miriam__ round terra cotta-coloured mouth saying, __hy should I put myself out for you?_ and it was Anne__ eyes as she pushed her hair back and looked up at him on the lawn of her house where she planted crocuses. It was Miriam turning from the tall thin window in the room in Chicago, lifting her freckled, shield-shaped face directly up to his as she always did before she told a lie, and Steve__ long dark head, insolently smiling.
