She was a fearless and familiar little thing, who asked disconcerting questions , made precocious comments , and possessed outlandish arts , such as dancing a Spanish shawl dance and singing Neapolitan love-songs to a guitar.

(Ch 1, p7) Look for Patterns!
Lawrence Lefferts was, on the whole, the foremost authority on "form" in New York. He had probably devoted more time than any one else to the study of this intricate and fascinating question; but study alone could not account for his complete and easy competence. What E fg ects?
