Little did Walter DeGoatis think that as this vast factory, he at last found himself fin the women's department. There, hip-high in the reeking rags. Grimy, yet graceful stood Marier. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever beheld. // 3 Their eyes met, his filled with uncontrollable, undisguised, helpless, passionate, sudden first love, hers with lust, and a consciousness that the new manager had found her skulking on her work. She blushed a lovely cardinal red. (The short: it was a "dead" [mash]." ED) // [Fourth passage scribbled out] // Yes."
