Part three, section 5
Wide Sargasso Sea pages 120 - 121: Meeting Sandi ... The ship's whistle
Synopsis of part three, section 5
Seeing the red dress recalls for Antoinette the memory of the last time she wore it, when her half-cousin Sandi Cosway came to see her. She admits that they had often met up without her husband's knowledge. Sandi offers to take her away rather than see her depart unhappily with Rochester but she declines. They part after a passionate kiss.
