Halloweening it Up

[Chester Peakes]

“I shall take that as a compliment, my dear.” Chester chuckled, not taking any offence by it at all. He knew his wife’s slight social apathy well enough by that time to not take any more note of it that one might take not of a hearth rug that has been in front of the fire for all your life. It had probably been to his advantage- if she had not suffered four failed seasons, she probably never would have become his bride.
