This piece of news surprised Barfoot.
“She came to your wedding? And wore a wedding garment?”
“Oh yes. And looked very nice.”
“Do describe it to me. Can you remember?”
Seeing that no woman ever forgot the details of another’s dress, on however trivial an occasion, and at whatever distance of time, Monica was of course able to satisfy the inquirer. Her curiosity excited, she ventured in turn upon one or two insidious questions.
“You couldn’t imagine Miss Nunn in such a costume?”
“I should very much like to have seen her.”
“She has a very striking face—don’t you think so?”
“Indeed I do. A wonderful face.”
