Excerpt from The White Moth Within reaching distance of her hand was the back of Elsie Rice. Now and then Elsie stepped back, laughing, from the group around her, and Hilda's white satin slippers were in danger. Then Hilda moved, smiling readily. But Elsie never looked around. On the other side was the back of Janey Hubbell. J aney's back was covered with tight-stretched white organdie, through which there showed creases from underneath: when she moved she brushed Hilda's elbow with a huge white satin bow. A long while ago Hilda had been interested in the bow, shaped like a cabbage and pinched and tweaked into fault less rotundity. J aney's dressmaker mother must have done it. But for five whole minutes Hilda had been gazing into its convolutions without seeing them, because she had nothing else to do. Janey was talking to a boy.
