Fixing me with her winking brightness of eye, Julia said in amused, penetrating and ironic, friendly detachment: "There's something slightly feminine about you."
And instantly I said, in just the same way: "And there's something slightly masculine about you."
No offence was either meant or taken, on either side. We just stared at each other, amused and surprised.
"Is that what you wanted to tell me?" I said.

Over the mantelpiece there was a mural painting whose subject I presumed to be allegorical since the swans appeared to be on an equal footing with the human beings. What interested me most was the smell of the place - I knew it was the long-standing scent of cigars, but had my nose been presented with it in other circumstances I could easily have taken it for a whiff of the stables.

"Her name is Julia," said Robert.
"What's her other name?" said I, seizing the opportunity to face him with a direct question.

"What?" echoed Myrtle and I.
