She observed his FLORID face and CORPULENT body dressed in a tuxedo. This type of MERETRICIOUS appearance did not help his dreary EXTEMPORIZING, no kind of BENEDICTION for those gathered. In fact, the SUPERCILIOUS tone that Frederick used made it hard for her to pretend COMPLACENCY and positively acknowledge his VACUOUS remarks. Politely, she FEIGNED interest in his conversation. Martina confided to a friend that PUNCTILIOUS manners continued to ELUDE Frederick. Due to the PRODIGALITY of guests and the FRACTIOUSNESS of people in the crowd who had enjoyed too many VINOUS beverages, Martina excused herself and left the party.
