"I have not forgotten anything important in the parish I hope."
"Important! Yes, indeed it is important; but nothing to do with the parish. In fact you have forgotten the most important day of our life, anyhow, I count it so. Don't you remember the fifteenth of August last year?"
"I'm afraid I don't. What happened? The School treat?"
"Something much more important than that. It was our wedding day."
Luke laughed.
"Our wedding day! Why I feel as if I had always had you. Is it really only a year ago? I was afraid at first that I had forgotten some important engagement."
"So you have. It is the most important. It was my first waking thought."
"What creatures you women are, always making so much of anniversaries."
Rachel laughed.
"I am afraid after all you are a thoroughly prosaic man. I thought you were full of romance and beautiful things when I married you. You must not grow prosaic or we shall be just like all the other dull couples that we so often meet."
