“A couple came staggering out to a taxicab.  The girl had blurred eyes, a perspiring face, an ermine cape and a beautiful evening gown that had slipped off one shoulder like a slovenly housewife’s bathrobe, revealing too much of her breast, not in a manner of daring, but in a manner of a drudge’s indifference.  Her escort steered her, gripping her naked arm; his face did not have the expression of a man anticipating a romantic adventure, but the sly look of a boy out to write obscenities on fences.” — Atlas Shrugged,  Ayn Rand (Pic provided by: ratak-monodosico: Hat and Glove, Studio ringl + pit (Ellen Auerbach) 1930)
