Excerpt from Valiant Dust The first time that Annette, Countess Chudenitz, met Andrew Radin was at a hectic function in her cousin's (mrs. Livingston Bollard's) house. I hardly know how to describe the occasion, for it was of no social genre. Radin talked for an hour; New York's intelligentsia listened, rubbing shoulders with d???bu tantes, bewildered matrons, and glib young women who were ofiicially garment-workers (on strike), but who would have been more accurately labelled dynamite.

They knew that this was the proper at mosphere for them to breathe - Mrs. Dollard said so and they took their tea from the hands of the second footman without perceiving that it should, logically speaking, have choked them.
