Singular Occurrence
"There are some very singular occurrences. Do you see that lady coming into the Church of the Cross? She just stopped in the churchyard to give alms."
"In black?"
"That's right; she's going in; she's gone in."
"Don't put it on the card. That look is telling you that the lady is a memory of another time, and she can't be from long ago, judging by her body."
"She must be forty-six."
"Ah! Well preserved. Come on, stop looking at the floor and tell me everything. Are you widowed, of course?"
"No, I'm not."
"Well, her husband is still alive. Is he old?"
"She's not married."
"Single?"
