A Purebred woman sat in the chair next to him. Without looking at her, he recognized her as Clara Fontanne, daughter of two of the wealthiest attorneys held on retainer for politicians and a rising attorney herself.

Chris would not have called himself a Purebred sympathizer by any means, but he was much more tolerant than most of the people of his generation.
