The Beautiful Miss Baker

I looked at Miss Baker,
wondering what it was she “got done.”
 I enjoyed looking at her.
She was a slender,
small-breasted girl,
with an erect carriage,
which she accentuated by throwing her body backward at the shoulders
like a young cadet.
Her gray sun-strained eyes looked back at me with polite reciprocal
curiosity out of a wan,
charming,
discontented face.
It occurred to me now that I had seen her,
or a picture of her,
somewhere before.

  1. You picked a good section of the book. I think you should've capitalized the beginning of every line.
