At first it had gone well enough. She was, he realised, a socialite; she loved to entertain and be entertained, to attend parties, to dance, to go on trips, to pay calls, to make the day a constant round of driving into Town, visiting shops and hairdressers, lunching with friends, hurrying to some afternoon function, giving or receiving tea, dressing for dinner, dining out or going to the theatre, dancing until after midnight - and being out next morning, fresh as a daisy, for the same activities all over again, apparently without cessation. To which he could have no reasonable objection, although he sometimes reflected wryly on her pre-marital remark that she was not one of the bright young things, really, and was looking forward to a fairly settled married life. Possibly she had believed it then; more probably their definitions were just different. For there was no doubt, he soon discovered, that they simply lived at a different pace; Peggy was in a higher gear than he was, and there was nothing either of them could do about it.
