“Lindy was simply leaving her sister to do everything, while claiming credit herself for superhuman light-heartedness and calm. If only Geoffrey was listening … was taking it in!
But no. As ill luck would have it, he had hurried straight indoors, and hadn’t heard a word of the significant exchange on the other side of the fence. Rosamund followed him into the house slowly, trying to think of a way of reporting the incident without sounding catty. How it did cramp one’s style, this not being ...a jealous wife! How much less interesting it made one, too; for the anecdote, catty or not, would at least have been amusing and stimulating—could have triggered off the kind of conversation that Geoffrey and she had once enjoyed nearly all the time.

Never, ever had it been like this with them before….MoreLess
