A fragment of alec’s leter to mary

I met you at one of Miss Brown’s parties. Do you remember? You were wearing a beautiful white dress. You were talking to Miss Brown smiling when I came up to you. They were playing the tango. I said, «May I have the pleasure of this dance?” and you answered, “Yes, certainly”. And we danced. Do you remember? Our first dance. We were dancing. I was not talking to you, I was looking at you. And you were smiling. We were dancing together. Do you remember?
