Excerpt from Valiant Dust The first time that Annette, Countess Chudenitz, met Andrew Radin was at a hectic function in her cousin's (mrs. Livingston Bollard's) house. I hardly know how to describe the occasion, for it was of no social genre. Radin talked for an hour; New York's intelligentsia listened, rubbing shoulders with d???bu tantes, bewildered matrons, and glib young women who were ofiicially garment-workers (on strike), but who would have been more accurately labelled dynamite. In positions of vantage sat the clever creatures, male and female, who were running Mrs. Bollard's newest publication - the third and by far the most important that she had yet financed. They were the ones who asked the proper questions at the proper time, and gave Radin a chance to make his points. The d???butantes were as bewildered as the matrons, but their bewilder ment did not - if you will pardon the paradox - be wilder them. They knew that this was the proper at mosphere for them to breathe - Mrs. Dollard said so and they took their tea from the hands of the second footman without perceiving that it should, logically speaking, have choked them. Radin himself drank tea. So did the garment-workers. So did all the intelligentsia. So did every one except Annette Chu.
