Mrs. Appleby.
I remember wondering at the time whether you weren't a little overcome by all the excitement caused by your marriage.
Violet.
I was excited too, you know.
Mrs. Appleby.
Everyone had always looked upon Sir Arthur as a confirmed bachelor. It was thought he cared for nothing but his work. He's had a wonderful career, hasn't he?
