UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES BOOK 1:06

The couple 'marched' into the club ready to dance till ''they dropped dead''. It is the most important day in Marys life; at least so far, but the displeasing fact was the picture that was right before her; all the wasted years spent clubbing, how her relationship with John was left for dead; she always hoped that he had really forgiven her, because she knew that whatever John turned out to be now was because of her rejection and wayward lifestyle.
Mary took a long shot from the good girl she was when she and John were childhood sweethearts to a totally different person; although John will always insist that they will always be friends, he however acknowledged that she had lost her decency. Mary had began to get involved with rather promising and fun loving friends who introduced her to the fancy way of life, but within her soul she knew this was a disaster; she couldn't beat the crowd, why not join.

John tried to hold her down, at a point even promising her marriage, something that any young girl would have gladly jumped to, but all of it meant nothing to Mary; she was feeling the 'vibe', men were chasing after her from every corner and in those seducing moments she had grown into a giant, leaving John as close to the ground as if he was a grasshopper.
She began to show a feeling of being too important for Johns small talk; ambitious hardworking young man, but she was focusing more on the pleasures of life. She was too classy for the simplicity of life which John promised.
