“Mrs. Clare is a famous figure in Finney County. Her celebrity derives not from her present occupation but a previous one – dance-hall hostess, an incarnation not indicated by her appearance. She is a gaunt, trouser-wearing, woolen-shirted, cowboy-booted, ginger-colored, gingery-tempered woman of unrevealed age (“That’s for me to know, and for you to guess”) but promptly revealed opinions, most of which are announced in a voice of rooster-crow altitude and penetration.” (p. 67)
