No, she did not remember. That momentary elevation had no associations for her. It was unconscious. He looked her up and down and laughed and shook his head. "You are just all I want you to be and that is, not for me! Don't worry, you'll get at it. You are at it. My God! have you ever, for one moment, been at anything else?"
