Perfect Paragraph

"Ann's skirt is made out of a shiny red fabric that looks as if it could be used for spacesuits. She's wearing a transparent chiffon blouse and her usaual three-inch-heels—today they're opera pink. When Amos leaves, she catches me staring at her and makes a fish face."

—Frederick Barthelme, from his story, "Box Step"
