...first, the only girls who succumbed were ones with long, straight hair, soulful looks and knee-length boots. They generally favored long, dangling spike earrings which looked like nails hanging from their ears. But the fever began to infect others, who carry green bookbags, look earnest, and wear sensible shoes. These girls like small earrings which fit like cufflinks in the center of the lobe.

"Stay on in Paris, have lovers of whom the whole world may know, never write to me, and-for all that, I will only love you ten times more. If this is not madness, fever, delirium!"
