She shrugged and wandered to the front of the store.

*He frowned a bit.*
"Ah. I've met Rebecca de Winter." *He paused, fishing for something nice to say about that dreadful woman.* "She's, er... She's very pretty,"

"Oh...? Oh, of course." *He could have slapped his hand to his forehead. He of course knew what had happened to Mrs. de Winter.*
"It slipped my mind- I read in the paper last year that she had died... Mr. de Winter must have remarried."

"I didn't know he'd been married before. I noticed he was older than Micaela, at least twenty years older... Wait, Rebecca died only last year?"

*He nodded.*
"I believe she drowned in a sailing accident."

"Micaela didn't say anything about her to me. Do you suppose she knows?"
