Excerpt from Phemie's Temptation: A Novel The short bow of the upper lip bespoke decision and spirit; the passionate pout of the lower was that of a petted and loving child. There were no unfinished curves, no lax lines in contour or in feature, and the expression of the whole was power - of feeling, as of thought. Her dress was simple in the extreme, and unsuited to the season. It was buff Nankeen, trimmed with black, and had evidently seen much use and several washings. Her only ornament was a small, old-fashioned brooch, containing a lock of gray hair, and confining a plain linen collar about the round, smooth throat. She sat upon a high stool at a desk, with a low railing around the top, set within a recess of the wall midway between the front door of the fashionable fancy store and the great mirror at the farther end. "What is it?" she asked, briefly. "Take twenty-six fifty out of that!" answered the saleswoman who had interrupted her, tendering two bank-notes. The book-keeper inspected one more closely than she did the other. "That $20 is a counterfeit!" she pronounced in her abrupt fashion. "Are you sure?" "If I were not, I should not make the assertion. It is a counterfeit - and a poor one. Take it back to the person who offered it, and say so." The other hung back. "I don't like to!" she objected, in a lower tone.
