Quote #10
Stella stood by the lamp post, smoking. She wore white with red shoes, which fitted his expectations, although in a troubled moment he had imagined the dress red, and only the shoes white. She waited uneasily and shyly. From afar he saw that her eyes—clearly her father's—were filled with desperate innocence. He pictured, in her, his own redemption. (201)
Leo's redemption comes through seeing Stella for who she really is. He's even troubled when he flips the colors of her shoes and dress (virginal white and brothel red, btw) and finds his hope in seeing her clearly: her desperate eyes and her shyness. Her warts and all.
