M: Oh, I hate black.
S: It’s not for long. Mama says we can go into half-mourning 1 next month. And back to colours by September.
M: Still seems a lot for a cousin.
E: But not a fiance?
M: He wasn’t really a fiance.
E: No? I thought that was what you call a man you’re going to marry.
M: I was only going to marry him if nothing better turned up.
S: Mary, what a horrid 2 thing to say.
M: Don’t worry. Edith would have taken him, wouldn’t you?
E: Yes, I’d have taken him. If you’d given me the chance, I’d have taken him like a shot 3.
