wooing
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Inflected forms:
form: wooings
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: A courting; the process by which somebody is wooed.
pos: noun
examples: "Sweet soul! I know his appetite," said Mrs. Mallowe. "Did he, oh did he, begin his wooing?"
She felt a little as she had used to feel when she sat by her now wedded husband in the same spot during his wooing, shutting her eyes to his defects of character, and regarding him only in his ideal presentation as lover.
She was like a Beardsley Salome, he had said. And indeed she had the narrow eyes and the high cheekbone of that creature, and as nearly the sinuosity as is compatible with human symmetry. His wooing had been brief but incisive.
The difference here is that the protagonists in this collection are, for the most part, at the end of their lives, and so the news of familial drama and divorce and the cocktail parties, barbecues and casual wooings of quotidian life in suburbia is given retrospectively, wistfully, presented in the larger context as memories of lost moments and lost opportunities.
