			A Dill Pickle
			By Katherine Mansfield

He was peeling an orange.         He must have felt that shock of recognition in her for he looked up and met her eyes. Incredible! He didn’t know her. She smiled, he frowned.(4) She came towards him. He closed his eyes an instant,(5) but opening them his face lit up(6) as though(7) he had struck a match in a dark room. He laid down the orange and pushed back his chair.         “Vera!” he exclaimed. “How strange. Really, for a moment I didn’t know you. Won’t you sit down? Won’t you have some coffee?”         “Yes, I’d like some coffee.” And she sat down opposite him.         “You’ve changed. You’ve changed very much,” he said, staring at(8) her with that eager, lighted look. “You look so well. I’ve never seen you look so well before.”(9)         “Really?” She raised her veil and unbuttoned(10) her high fur collar. “I don’t feel very well. I can’t bear(11) this weather, you know.”
