| At this moment, as though sensing she was being observed,
the girl turns her head slowly in my direction; the perfection, the assurance
of her movement convince me instantly that she knows in advance where
gaze will stop; she stares at me briefly, then, without a flicker of an
eye, she calmly executes the inverse
rotation of her neck and shoulders in order to contemplate once again
the almost artificial stillness of the sunlit sea directly in front of
her. Full, well defined-lips, large limpid eyes, a very long neck, small
ears, a smooth and warm complexion, a firm curvaceous
body without plumpness, the whole corresponding quite well to the nomenclature
of "pubescent adolescent." |
