"She was exceptionally beautiful, Thelen noted, with a body built on heroic proportions, a honeyed-olive complexion, and a cameo-shaped face. Her hair was jet black and her eyes, behind half-closed languid lids, a vivid candid blue. He wondered briefly how a girl so naturally endowed could have been reduced to earning her living in this manner. She was probably a victim of the environment, he decided. On a world where the classes were so sharply divided, a girl born without the proper background might be forced to sell herself merely to survive."
