I thought I’d relate this seemingly insignificant little fact
to counterbalance the entertaining fiction offered in Making the Most of Lines (see below.)
I was putting my wheelie bin out by the edge of the lane at twilight,
when I saw the lights of two bikes approaching in the distance. How did I know
who it was? I didn’t for certain, but some intuitive sense persuaded me to wait
and see.
Up the road came Sarah from Mill
Lane and another young woman. The other girl said ‘hello’
which I returned. Only then did the much vaunted Sarah glance in my direction
and say ‘oh, hello.’ Then she rode on.
Maybe I should have combed my hair while I was waiting. Maybe I should .......
Feel free to fill in the blank.

...smile widely and say "howdy!" in a southern accent? :)
I don't think Sarah is the Scarlet O'Hara type.
