"I hadn't once looked at you. But you have changed a good deal."
"Not more than you have, I'm sure."
"And what are you doing? You look much more cheerful than you used to."

"Have you been in London all the time?"
"Oh no. Two years ago I went back to Liverpool, and had a place there for nearly six months. But I got tired of it. In a few days I'm going to Brighton; I've got a place in a restaurant. Quite time, too; I've had nothing for seven weeks."
"I've often thought about you," said Elgar, after a pause.
"But you never came to see how I was getting on."
"Oh, I supposed you were married long since."
She laughed, and shook her head.
