the woman lived, and stil] lives in a
nearby suburb They met, as men and
women sometimes do on a train It
was no common flirtation, with the
usual disregard of the convention. He
was a gentleman, she a lady, and for
some courtesy he had extended with
perfect propriety she thanked him,
and thelr acquaintance began
They were congenial! spirits Surely
if they had not been her thanks for
his courtesy would have marked the
end of their accidental meeting They
talked for perhaps an hour before she
left the train, and a mutual hope was
expressed that they might meet again
He had given her his card: she simply
gave him a name Personal details of
that sort had small interest for them
