Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Open-Eyed Conspiracy: An Idyl of Saratoga Her face was very beautiful; it was quite perfectly beautiful, and of such classic mould that she might well have been the tutelary goddess Of that temple (if it was a temple, and not a kiosk), in the white duck cos tume which the goddesses were wearing that summer. Her features were Greek, but her looks were American; and she was none the less a goddess, I decided, because of that air of something exacting, of not quite satisfied, which made me more and more willing to be elderly and gray-bearded. I at least should not be expected to supply the worship necessary to keep such a god dess in good humor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
