About Miss Alexandra Huntingdon

Having resigned herself to a life of solitude, Miss Alexandra Huntingdon returned home from the affairs of the day, poured herself a drink (Manhattan on the rocks, dry), and proceeded to the piano. An intricate design of concentric watermarks had begun to paint itself in the finish of the old spinet in the parlor, as night after night she played (and night after night she drank). She stared at the ever¬blossoming emblem of habit in dismay. How many evenings had she sat there, playing the old songs?
