    Summary

    Josephine stood straighter and positioned her writing board to protect her like a shield. The Herald was hardly older than her, and she was very beautiful, too, if a little dusty and beat up.

    But weren’t most people beautiful? Josephine belonged to a social class where most people were lucky enough to be rich and enhanced their looks by whatever means necessary according to societal standards. Josephine had worked with those unrealistically beautiful people every day and she’d grown up around them, too. She was one such creature, in her own humble opinion, so the Herald’s obvious attractiveness was easy to take in stride.

    But, fixing her posture and curling some hair behind her ear was still a good idea.
