Another Fine Girl

    Who is this mysterious and breathtakingly beautiful young lady? Why, it's the Great Mary Basquez. And do not take her too lightly, for royal blood doth flow through her veins.

    She's a fine girl, and and a fine, fine friend. By far a better person than I, she inspires me to be better. Mary is genteel; evil is shocking to her and good infinitely praiseworthy. She is my partner in photographic adventures, and has a clever hand with a camera and an eye for beauty.

    The picture is a trifle unusual; taken during late-ish afternoon, the light is very queer. Perhaps it should have been edited or something after I took it, but after a while I decided I liked the brightness and lack of detail. It looks . . . celestial, somehow.

       Interesting, really, considering how much she means to me, that I was reluctant to meet her in the beginning. She was invited for a Halloween party to the house of our great mutual friend, Emma Daisy. Emma Daisy (about whom I shall be writing, as soon as I can procure an appropriately artistic photograph of her) is such a fine girl that I naturally wanted to have her all to myself, without this other girl whom I'd never met butting in. (Truly despicable sentiments, which I now regret ever having.) Mary's goodness, however, was so powerful as do do away with my imbecilities, and she became as remarkable a companion as one could ask for.
