Stroll

– It seems to be getting warmer. Lighter evenings. Trees in leaf. Almost as if–
– As if spring is here.
– Yes: that's it.
–  Maybe. Who knows? It's been like this before. And then got cold and wet again.
– But this time? Perhaps–?
– Perhaps. We'll just have to wait and see. And take advantage of the weather while we have the chance.
– It's quite pleasant to go for a walk in the evenings when it's like this. Somewhere pretty. Experience the gathering dusk. Birds. Singing.
– I suppose it is one of the most beautiful moments of the day, dusk. That and dawn, of course.
– I've never really been one for dawn. It never quite arrives at the right time of day for me.
– In that you tend to be asleep?
– Yes. I could, at a stretch, get up early to see it, but I don't think I would appreciate it. Not having got up early.
– It's a pity, really.
– Yes...
