in the window usual but with a new hat and
coat on, and her long train spread out so there
was scarce room for me to sit down. She seemed
to be quite disguised with me for some reason or
other
Because everybody praised your pretty face no
doubt
al any rate, she quite resented my presence
that day and spoke to me for the very first time
