Best Served Cold

Dispassionate, cynical, and cold, Dominique nurses a masochistic streak. An ardent idealist, she observes Greek sculpture, the music of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, and she understands the human potential. Dominique recognizes man’s capacity for achievement, and this is the only thing she loves. Because she reveres man at his highest and best, she necessarily loathes most members of the human race, who fall below man’s potential.
