"it was only a few years ago that she had first laid eyes on him at her father's house, meeting his gaze that weighed up her beauty and priced it before offering the dowry. she had noted his eyes ranging over her as she presented him with the coffee in the japanese cups that were kept safely locked away in the cupboard for important guests. her mother had herself laid them out on the silver-plates tray with its elaborately embroidered spread. when the two men had taken their coffee, her father had looked up at her with a smile and had told her to sit down, and she had seated herself on the sofa facing them, drawing the end of her dress over her knees and looking through lowered lids at the man who might choose her as his wife. she had been glad to see that he was tall, well-built and clean-shaven except for a thin greying mustache. in particular she noticed the well-cut coat of english tweed and the silk shirt with gold links. she had felt herself blushing as she saw him returning her gaze."
