"The house was large but the room she invited Libor into was diminutive, almost like a room in a doll's house. There were prints on the walls of rural scenes. Shepherds and shepherdesses. And a collection of porcelain thimbles on the mantelpiece. She was too tall for the room, Libor thought. She had to fold herself almost into three in order to fit into her chair. Her height made Libor feel foolish. Even with both of them sitting down he had to look up at her." - segment from Jacobson's
The Finkler Question
