“Oh! mon Dieu! let us drop the subject. You might conclude that I attach great value to memories of you, and you would be much mistaken. But how fine you are! Are you going to a wedding?”
“Just so; I have been one of a wedding party since morning, and I came here for a walk while the bride is dressing herself for the ball.”

“Lovely.”
“A widow or unmarried?”
“Unmarried.”
“How old?”
“Twenty years.”
“Has she—you know what?”
