— And did you love him?

— I was eighteen years old when I met him, and before a year was out we were married — but I do not believe I knew then what love was.

— And now — do you know? She hesitated, then said: No. For the first time that evening, I felt she was lying.

I am not by nature an impulsive man, though the results of my impulses have often turned out well. An idea came to me at that moment; I did not turn it over in my mind even once before I said:

— Rosamund, every year I rent a summer house on the shore, where I can be alone and write. What would you say to coming there with Amanda this summer? I shall invite Sally and her husband, so that you will not feel lonely.
