Microcosmic God (2013)
“The ripple, as such things will, spread in widening circles from office to drugstore to nightclub to the society columns, and everyone said, “Oh, the lucky girl, to get such a handsome fiancé!” Or, conversely, “Imagine being married to a man as good-looking as that! The poor kid!”
No, they weren’t society, but it hit print all the same. What notoriety—for such it was—surrounded the engagement was Gabe’s. He was a Figure. He Stood for Something. Pictures were taken of him and published in magazi...nes, and the pictures were clipped out and hoarded by unprepossessing girls of all ages. He was Glamour—he was the Unattainable. Men disliked him because he was a byword of masculine desirability among all the girls they knew. Girls went coiffure over leather-lifts about the gentleman, following him, pestering him, forming a living halo of studied spontaneity about him. Some said he was Hayundsome. Some said he was just too, too. Most just said, “Oh, my!” at the first glimpse of his noble profile, and lapsed into ecstatic sighs.MoreLess
