POEM

Illuminating with her presence, She “was greeted with the usual morning cordiality” 26. Debriefing business details.

Gliding with grace, She lounged “in her white suit” 76, Recalling upon customers, “women [who] were remarkably easy to please” 36. Henry Fong

Moving with confidence, She “teased the ashtray with her cigarette” 26. Composed and poised.

Operating with pride, She holds “the most exclusive modest lines” 25. Some “not to be found in any of the Ginza shops” 25.

__ Illuminating with her presence, __ __ She, although absent, "femininity trembled in every corner" 5. __ __ Inhabiting her empty bedroom, lingering with a faint scent. __ __ (Shavonne) __

Handling with authority, She “closed his bedroom door and locked it” 3. Taking precautions for further misfits.

Commanding with power, She caught his bad-mannered habits. Stopped "with [just] a reproving look" 114.

Ordering with certainty, She demanded that he "spend the evening catching up on all that summer work" 78. Despite staying the night at a friend's.
