The fact that she was centring her attention on him was in itself flattering. "Not at all," he assured her and wondered to what she referred. "It was at the American Legion Ball," she reminded him. And then he remembered. It all came back to him. It had been a dismal evening, way back in April. He had noticed her that evening. She had worn a weird thing of silver and black.
