Excerpt from Light-Fingered Gentry How d'ye do, Neva, said he, politely enough, but with look and tone no man addresses to a woman who has for him the slightest sex interest. How are you, Horace, said she, losing the faint animation her smile had given her face. Somewhat constrainedly, either from coldness or from embarrass ment, she gave him her hand.

"Light-Fingered Gentry" by David Graham Phillips is a crime and romance novel set in New York. David Graham Phillips (1867 – 1911) was an American novelist and journalist of the muckraker tradition. Phillips' novels often commented on social issues of the day and frequently chronicled events based on his real-life journalistic experiences. He was considered a Progressive and for exposing corruption in the Senate he was labeled a muckraker. Excerpt: "A MATRIMONIAL MISTAKE Toward noon on a stifling July day, a woman, a young woman, left the main walk through the deserted college grounds at Battle Field, and entered the path that makes a faint tracing down the middle of Pine Point. That fingerlike peninsula juts far into Otter Lake; it is a thicket of white pines, primeval, odorous. Not a ripple was breaking the lake's broad, burnished reach. The snowy islets of summer cloud hung motionless, like frescoes in an azure ceiling. But among the pines it was cool, and even murmurously musical."
