Ursula was stitching a piece of brightly coloured embroidery and Gudrun was drawing upon a board which she held on her knee. They were mostly silent taking as their thought straiyed through their minds. Ursula said Gudrun don't you really want to get married. Ursula led her embroidery in her lap looked up the her face was calm and considerate. I don't know she replied . It depends how you mean . Gudran was slightly taken a back. She watched a sister for some time moment. Well she said ironically it usually means one thing but don't you think any how you did be she darkened slightly in a better position than your in now. A shadow came over to Ursula face. I might dmshe said. But iam not sure. Again Gudrun paused slightly irritated . She want to be quite definite. You don't think one any one needs the experience of having been married. She asked. Do you think it's the experience replied Ursula. Bound to be in some way other said Gudrun coolly possibly be a great deal. Un desirable but bound to be an experienced . Gudran say very still attend this. Of course she said that the consider. This is brought the conversation to a close Gudran almost angrily. To took up the rubber and began to part of the drawing. Ursula stitched absorbadly.
