Page "adventure" Paragraph 1217

Miss Langford ( her first name was Evelyn ) was an attractive girl.

Tall, blonde, blue-eyes, fair, buxom without being heavy, she cut a fine figure of budding womanhood as she swished among the pupils in her fresh, starched summer dress.

Something was beginning to stir and come alive in her, too ( it may have been there for a good while, since she was twenty now ; ;

but if it had been, it had been smothered until now by fear ): you could tell it by the way she watched the older, bigger boys, like Jack.

She would look at Jack, with that hidden something in her eyes, and Jack would see the Woman and become breathless and a little sick.
