"Do you mean that you were introduced to him?" asked Miss Hunter calmly.
"There was no occasion. I knew him when I was a girl."
"I can't say I knew him when I was a girl," retorted Miss Hunter. "But I know this much: he never goes to church."
"What of that?" snapped Miss Toombs.
Miss Hunter looked at the eldest present, astonished.
"Is that you talking?" she asked.
"Why, what did I say?"
"You spoke as if it were a matter of no consequence, a man not going to church."
"I can't have been thinking what I said," remarked Miss Toombs, as she put aside her teacup to go on with her work.
"I thought not," retorted Miss Hunter.
