"And you love me just the way I am? You're sure."
"Yes," he said. "So much yes."
"Because I'm going to be changed."
"No," he said. "No. Not changed."
"I'm going to," she said.
...
She pulled the striped shirt over her head and then shook her hair back and then sat in the chair in front of the mirror on the dresser and brushed it back looking at it critically. It fell to the top of her shoulders. She shook her head at the mirror...
"I have to ride up to Aigues Mortes," she said.
"Good," he said. "I'll come too."
"No. I have to go alone. ...(12-13)
...she...got up sleepily and washed in the big basin and slouched in front of the mirror of the armoire and brushed her hair and looked at the mirror unsmiling...(20)
"...Kiss me and look at us in the mirror on the bathroom door."
He kissed her and they looked into the full length mirror. (43)
She looked into the hand mirror and watched the comb and scissors lifting and snipping...
...Then he snipped more rapidly and finally turned the chair so the big mirror was reflected in the small one Catherine held. (79-80)
...
Catherine stood up and looked at herself very seriously in the mirror...
She looked in the mirror as though she had never seen the girl she was looking at (81)
...
He looked once more in the mirror...(82)
...
After she was asleep David got up and looked at himself in the bathroom mirror...Then he came back and picked up her big hand mirror.
"...You've...had it cut the same as your girl's and how do you feel?" He asked the mirror. ...
He looked at the mirror and it was someone else he saw...(84)
Of course he did not know exactly how he was. But he made an effort aided by what he had seen in the mirror. (85)
...We'll get a mirror for it. A bar's no good without a mirror." (102)
"...You can't fool a bar mirror." (103)
"Do I look any different?" Catherine asked. "I wish they'd brought the mirror. Do I look any different to you?" (110)
...she stood a long time and looked at the bed and then went to the bathroom door and opened it and stood and looked in the long mirror. Her face had no expression...she looked at herself from her head down to her feet with no expression on her face at all. (115)
"Hello," she said. "They didn't bring the mirror."
"Hello, Devil," he said. I'm sorry I was late."
He was shocked at the dead way she looked and at her toneless voice. (117)
David and the girl were sitting at the bar having a drink together and the girl said, "They never did bring the mirror."
"What are all the architectural reforms?" David asked.
"The new miroir for the bar?
...the bar with its new and handsome mirror...he sat on the bar stool and looked into the mirror...
"Hello darling," Catherine said to David. "Oh look at the mirror...(133)
They looked at each other in the mirror. (141)
"This isn't any damned bar," Catherine said. "This is our own special bar and we bought the mirror..."(144)
...Catherine watched him come in by looking at the mirror. She did not look at him, only at his reflection in the mirror.
"Where did you put them, Devil?" David asked.
He welcomed his father's presence at the bar until he glanced in the mirror and saw he was alone. (147)
He looked at his face in the mirror with one side shaved. (167)
David was watching her in the mirror and whe looked calm, handsome and normal. (191)
"She turned away from the mirror and looked at him. "I won't tell you," she said. "I took care of them." (219)
She went over to the door of the bathroom and looked at herself in the full length mirror. Then she smiled at the mirror. (244)

And that is the last mention of mirror in the book. It's only 247 pages long. She smiles in the mirror at herself after destroying David's reviews clippings and all of his unpublished, hand-written manuscripts.
