      A New Leaf - Francis Scott Fitzgerald

      978-963-522-026-7

      Chapter 1

      It was the first day warm enough to eat outdoors in the Bois de Boulogne, while chestnut blossoms slanted down across the tables and dropped impudently into the butter and the wine. Julia Ross ate a few with her bread and listened to the big goldfish rippling in the pool and the sparrows whirring about an abandoned table. You could see everybody again—the waiters with their professional faces, the watchful Frenchwomen all heels and eyes, Phil Hoffman opposite her with his heart balanced on his fork, and the extraordinarily handsome man just coming out on the terrace.

      Julia trembled discreetly; she controlled herself; she didn't spring up and call, Yi-yi-yi-yi! Isn't this grand? and push the maître d'hôtel into the lily pond. She sat there, a well-behaved woman of twenty-one, and discreetly trembled.

      Phil was rising, napkin in hand. Hi there, Dick!

      Hi, Phil!

      It was the handsome man; Phil took a few steps forward and they talked apart from the table.

      —seen Carter and Kitty in Spain—

      —poured on to the Bremen—

      —so I was going to—

      The man went on, following the head waiter, and Phil sat down.

      Who is that? she demanded.

      A friend of mine—Dick Ragland.

      He's without doubt the handsomest man I ever saw in my life.

      Yes, he's handsome, he agreed without enthusiasm.

      Handsome! He's an archangel, he's a mountain lion, he's something to eat. Just why didn't you introduce him?
