Margaret notes the flush and resolves to ask him later what a lady ought call that, as no one has bothered to tell her. Strumpet didn't seem right, and she could hardly ask Miriam now could she?

Andre's face flushes at the coarse term.

He says nothing, however. Enough reading has convinced him to be silent in such cases.

Andre continues to flush, but nods to Miriam's words.

"That, er, is sensible enough," he says. "I think. I've...no experience in...such matters."

Margaret nods to Miriam and pointedly offers her arm to Andre, assuming that the rouse of a night rendezvous may through off suspicion from those they watch.

"Well then, my lord, shall we take this promenade into the night sky that we may both get some fresher air?" She cocks an eyebrow, imperiously.

"Madame flatters," Andre says, but he takes the hint about the arm and "conducts" her whither she would go.

The time passes for a long while outside the southern apse of the abbey, the hour growing earlier and earlier. Either the people inside the chapel are now making assurance double sure that you have really left, or they left by another way. An anticlimax, to be sure, but the smart move for a pair of conspirators up to no good---or were they hapless lovers, desperate not to be caught?

In any case, time conspired with happenstance to end the /scene.
Gm * Man of Angles * Sionnach * Scealai *

Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning,/Every poem an epitaph. And any action/Is a step to the block, to the fire, down the sea's throat/Or to an illegible stone: and that is where we start.
We die with the dying:/See, they depart, and we go with them./We are born with the dead:/See, they return, and bring us with them./The moment of the rose and the moment of the yew-tree/Are of equal duration. A people without history/Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern/Of timeless moments. So, while the light fails/On a winter's afternoon, in a secluded chapel/History is now and England
--Eliot, Little Gidding
