That
was handy for Number 6!
“I meet everybody, I know everything, who’s sick, who’s getting better.”
If the flower seller had set up her flower stall somewhere else in the village, outside the hospital for example, Number 6 wouldn’t have seen Number 14 buying herself flowers, and recognizing her from the night before. It’s true of course that he could have caught a glimpse of her elsewhere. I wonder what made Number 6 go to the door of his cottage in the first place, I can only think he was going to bring in the milk, but was distracted when he saw Number 14!
