A call to the license bureau, receipt of formal sanction in the mail she supposed Cameron had already made application and a little party with a few of their closest friends on the campus. She wished she had lived in the days when getting married was much easier to do, and something to make a fuss about. She stirred and sat up, loosening the jacket as the sun came from behind a puff of cloud.

My friends paid him much attention and sent him many invitations in fact, they would have made quite a fuss of him if he had let them and, of course, he had friends of his own, but he didn't seem to want to go anywhere, and he told me once or twice that he wished people would let him alone.

Caroline, during this time, is busy with an alarming piece of mimicry: she looks as if she were going to faint.
