I caught sight of her at the play, and in answer to her beckoning I went over during the interval and sat down beside her. It was long since I had last seen her, and if someone had mentioned her name, I hardly think I would have recognized her. She addressed me brightly.
"Well, it`s many years since we first met. How time does fly! We`re none of us getting any younger. Do you remember the first time I saw you? You asked me to luncheon."

나는 극장에서 그녀의 모습을 보았고 고개를 끄덕여 대답했다. 중간 휴식시간에 나는 건너가서 그녀의 옆에 앉았다. 내가 마지막으로 그녀를 본지 오랜 세월이 지났으며, 누군가 그녀의 이름을 말해주지 않았더라면 그녀를 알아보기는 어려웠을 것이다. 그녀는 내게 밝게 말을 걸었다.
"글쎄, 처음으로 만난지 많은 세월이 지났군요. 시간이 어찌나 빨리 흐르는지요! 우리 중 누구도 더 젊어질 수는 없지요. 제가 처음으로 당신을 만났을 때를 기억하세요? 당신은 저를 점심식사에 초대하셨지요."

It was twenty years ago and I was living in Paris. I had a tiny apartment in the Latin quarter overlooking a cemetery, and I was earning barely enough money to keep body and soul together. She had read a book of mine and had written to me about it. I answered, thanking her, and presently I received from her, another letter saying that she was passing through Paris and would like to have a chat with me: but her time was limited, and the only free moment she had was on the following Thursday; she was spending the morning at the Luxemburg and would I give her a little luncheon at Foyot`s afterwards?
