dedicates the story to Bob Dylan
and says she was inspired by his song

song compelling?

 “She
was slender, and apparently scarcely
past girlhood: an admirable form, and the
most exquisite little face that I have ever
had the pleasure of beholding; small
features, very fair; flaxen ringlets, or rather
golden, hanging loose on her delicate neck;
and eyes, been irresistible: fortunately for
my susceptible heart, scorn, and a kind of
desperation, singularly unnatural to be
detected here.”
