"She
was
Lo,
plain
Lo,
in
the
morning,
standing
four
feet
ten
in
one
sock. "】

2.
"In
walks
this
beautiful,
mysterious
girl
named
Dolores
Haze. "】

3.
"Between
the
age
limits
of
nine
and
fourteen
there
occur
maidens
who,
to
certain
bewitched
travelers,
twice
or
many
times
older
than
they,
reveal
their
true
nature
which
is
not
human,
but
nymphic
(that
is,
demoniac). "】

4.
"Her
skin
glistened
in
the
sun
like
a
water
nymph's,
her
accent
was
affected,
her
movements
were
restless,
and
her
clothes
smelled
of
old
lady's
sachet. "】

5.
"And
for
all
her
shimmering
illusions,
the
magic
show
she
did
beside
the
whirlpool
in
the
old
Goldfish
Pool
Park
on
the
edge
of
a
sheer
drop
of
alabaster,
had
a
frame
as
russet
as
tumbleweed
and
the
rep
backstage
smelled
distinctly
of
crocodile. "】

6.
"She
struck
me
as
pallid
for
two
reasons:
first,
because
she
lived
far
beyond
the
reach
of
the
sun,
and
second,
because
I
was
convinced
that
what
touched
her
came
through
my
own
limbs,
went
just
that
distance
further,
and
ebbed
back
in
her,
in
this
queenly,
atavistic
way. "】

7.
"No
constitutional
in
her
beautiful
body;
a
sly,
vivacious
blue-eyed
sly. "】

8.
"But
she
was
beautiful
in
a
way
no
other
nymphet
ever
was—with
her
black
ringlets
and
pale
skin,
her
shimmering
heart-shaped
lips
and
mischievous
smile. "】

9.
"She
tingled
when
she
walked,
like
the
faint
vibration
of
a
hummingbird. "】

10.
"Dolores
Haze
was
Lo,
the
pure
embodiment
of
20th-century
American
nymphicity. "】

11.
"She
could
walk,
as
girls
do,
either
taking
fixed
steps,
or
else,
like
a
sailor,
thumping
with
a
turn
of
her
waist
and
her
firm
belly,
or
she
could
bounce
as
she
did
now,
a
tragic
little
urchin
trotting
like
a
kitten
without
a
tail. "】

2.
"Her
laughter
was
the
most
enchanting
sound,
filling
every
corner
of
the
room
with
its
tinkling
melody. "】

3.
"Her
voice,
sweet
as
honey
with
a
hint
of
mischief,
had
the
power
to
wrap
its
octaves
around
you
and
pull
you
into
her
web
of
enchantment. "】

4.
"She
seemed
to
have
an
invisible
halo
of
allure
that
left
men
weak
and
trembling
in
her
presence. "】

5.
"She
captured
my
imagination
and
taunted
my
desires,
leaving
me
forever
under
the
spell
of
her
seductive
charm. "】

6.
"She
possessed
a
beauty
so
rare
and
intoxicating
that
it
could
make
even
the
most
virtuous
man
question
his
own
morality. "】

"With
each
passing
moment,
the
allure
of
her
forbidden
love
grew
stronger
and
more
irresistible. "】

8.
"She
was
a
captivating
enigma,
a
puzzle
waiting
to
be
solved,
a
secret
longing
to
be
discovered. "】

9.
"In
her
presence,
time
seemed
to
stand
still,
as
if
the
universe
itself
yearned
to
be
a
witness
to
her
radiant
existence. "】

20.
"She
was
Lo,
the
embodiment
of
desire,
a
sparkling
flame
that
burned
through
the
darkness
of
my
soul,
forever
etching
her
image
upon
my
heart. "】
