• Seeing him like this, dressed just for her in so patent a manner, she could not hold back the fiery blush that rose to her face. She was embarrassed when she greeted him, and he was more embarrassed by her embarrassment.

• The Rich arrived in pairs
  And also in Rolls Royces;
  They talked of their affairs
  In loud and strident voices...
  
  The Poor arrived in Fords,
  Whose features they resembled;
  They laughed to see so many Lords
  And Ladies all assembled.
  
  The People in Between
  Looked underdone and harassed,
  And our of place and mean,
  And Horribly embarrassed.

• In his extreme youth Stoner had thought of love as an absolute state of being to which, if one were lucky, one might find access; in his maturity he had decided it was the heaven of a false religion, toward which one ought to gaze with an amused disbelief, a gently familiar contempt, and an embarrassed nostalgia. Now in his middle age he began to know that it was neither a state of grace nor an illusion; he saw it as a human act of becoming, a condition that was invented and modified moment by moment and day by day, by the will and the intelligence and the heart.
