She first met him one sunny afternoon in the public gardens. She was sitting upon one of the seats there, idly watching the ducks swimming in the ornamental water, when she noticed a young fellow passing by and it struck her at once how handsome he was. She judged him to be a little older than herself. He was refined and distinguished looking, with his expression, however, quite a boyish one. He was walking slowly and she noted he gave her a quick appraising glance as he passed.
He did not go very far away, but, turning to retrace his steps and drawing level with her, raised his hat politely and asked if she would very kindly tell him the time. He spoke in French and she replied in the same language, though her words were halting and she knew her accent was not good.
