Bev was coming toward them, then, her red mouth set in a bright, calculating smile. She ignored Millicent and sailed up to Herb. "Why waste your time with gophers?" she caroled gaily. "Their tongues are tied, but completely."

Herb managed a parting shot. "But that one keeps such an attractive silence."

—"Initiation,"
Sylvia Plath

Bev is attracted to Herb.

Bev is a jealous person who dislikes female competition.

Herb thinks that Millicent is attractive.

We know Bev is attracted to Herb because of the way her behavior changed when she saw him. She started to smile, "sailed up to" him, and spoke in a singing voice. We also know that she is jealous because of the description of her smile as calculating and the way she ignored and insulted Millicent. We also know that Herb thinks Millicent is attractive because he says that she "keeps such an attractive silence." This does not necessarily mean that he prefers women who are shy. Also, Millicent does not have the appearance of a gopher.
