The Gioconda Smile

Aldous Huxley
3.16/5 (47 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
Short story, originally published in the 1922 collection Mortal Coils.

"Miss Spence will be down directly, sir." "Thank you," said Mr. Hutton, without turning round. Janet Spence's parlourmaid was so ugly-ugly on purpose, it always seemed to him, malignantly, criminally ugly-that he could not bear to look at her more than was necessary. The door closed. Left to himself, Mr. Hutton got up and began to wander round the room, looking with meditative eyes at the familiar objects it contained.
