This impression was unlikely to be contradicted, because Nick had wanted her to have the flowers, not to get the credit for giving them. But Theodora Dene, who was experienced and shrewd in matters of the heart, wondered about the poppies. She made no mention of them, however, to Angela. "I wanted you to myself for a minute," she explained, "to tell you I won't forget you are Mrs.

She smiled at him, thinking that maybe he would come round and change his attitude entirely.
