On the way:
Garnets dangle at her earlobes in a delicately worked vintage setting and her hat boasts a brim of cosy (fake?) fur. Seated in understated elegance, and a seat by the exit, she could be a lost princess of the Russian Romanovs, an Anastasia escaped to England, raised in secret in the South East.
Wrapped in her long, woollen coat her stature is disguised but her ankles are delicate, her feet small in their black ballet pumps. Her green eyes are alert, her features fine, her nose proud and her parchment skin well cared for over the decades.
Small wonder that the handsome, broad-faced gent in the forest green weather coat and sturdy walking boots removes his wide-brimmed black hat with the little yellow feather when he sits down beside her. Small wonder that his smile is almost as wide as his face and his blue eyes sparkle as he runs his hand over his high forehead and all the way back to where his hair has receded.
He is, after all, in the presence of royalty.
