First lines

The woman leaned across the table towards her companion.

"My friend," she said, "when we first met -- I am ashamed, considering that I dine alone with you to-night, to reflect how short a time ago -- you spoke of your removal here from Paris very much as though it were a veritable exile. I told you then that there might be surprises in store for you. This restaurant, for instance! We both know our Paris, yet do we lack anything here which you find at the Ritz or Giro's?"
