Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Ballingtons: A Novel
I don't want to talk, either. I want to be impolite and still, he went on severely. You ought to want to be still, too, after singing like that.
Another college girl, who had come with Agnes, at this moment joined them. It was her first opportunity to escape from perfunctory conversation with the third man of the Bal lingtou family.
As she drew Agnes down beside her on the lounge near Tom's chair, the light from the chandelier fell upon her heavy hair, changing it from brown to bronze. Her face was not beautiful, but it had a power and a kind of sardonic sweetness which compensated for beauty. A pair of straight black brows marked her face, and impenetrable gray eyes looked out from beneath them. Miriam Cass was five years Older than Agnes and was as well-known in the scientific and art life of Winston College as was Agnes in its social life.

Excerpt from The Ballingtons: A Novel
A girl wont up to the piano and stood half-turned toward the group of guests in Mrs. Ballington's drawing-room while an accompaniest played through the prelude of a Rubinstein song. The girl was dressed in white, with no ornament except an old-fashioned Roman sash; but she stood very straight, and her hair had a rebellious wave that showed fire under the brown, and her neck and arms were like flushed marble. Presently she turned toward the listeners and began to sing. Her voice had the sweep and vibration of a 'cello and she used it daringly. As she sang she seemed to expand from a fledgling college girl into some elemental spirit, the grandeur of whose passion awed while it thrilled the listeners.
"Charming!" Mrs. Ballington said, with a sour look through her lorgnette at the wandering lights in the girl's dark eyes. She had been chagrined for weeks past at her son Donald's devotion to this country doctor's daughter. Her chagrin flamed into exasperation at the girl's unembarrassed flaunting of herself - such was Mrs. Ballington's phrase - in the Ballington parlor as though it already belonged to her.
Donald did not speak, but Agnes Sidney caught the look of adoration in his eyes as she left the piano and went over to his younger brother Tom. Tom withdrew his elbows from his knees and looked up from the floor. "No, you don't get me to sing any coon song or play the banjo!" he said briefly. Agnes came to a stop and began to laugh.
