"Sejak pertama kali bertemu dengannya, dia merasakan suasana kontradiksi tentangnya. Dia sangat seorang wanita, tetapi masih mempertahankan kualitas seperti waif. Dia bisa kurang ajar, dan kadang-kadang dengan sengaja menyarankan, namun dia sangat pemalu. Dia sangat mudah bergaul, namun dia memiliki beberapa teman. Dia adalah seniman berbakat dalam haknya sendiri, tetapi begitu sadar diri tentang pekerjaannya sehingga dia jarang menyelesaikan karya dan lebih suka bekerja dengan seni dan ide orang lain."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

From the first time he'd met her, he'd sensed an air of contradiction about her. She was very much a woman, but still retained a waiflike quality. She could be brash, and at times deliberately suggestive, yet she was painfully shy. She was incredibly easy to get along with, yet she had few friends. She was a talented artist in her own right, but so self-conscious about her work that she rarely completed a piece and preferred to work with other people's art and ideas.
