The Egypt Game

I was rereading The Egypt Game, as I do from time to time, and this quote struck me - simply because I like the image so much - so I thought I'd share.

Caroline was such a quiet person it was hard sometimes to know what she was thinking. But lately, April usually thought she could tell. Right then, Caroline only smiled and said, "That's a very nice letter, dear," and bent her head back down over the sequins. And the sun coming in the little stained-glass section of the breakfast room window made her smooth gray hair look just like a pigeon's wing.
