"Nothing, except that I'm a little tired, I think." But Dolly wasn't satisfied. She knew her chum too well. "You've got something on your mind, but you don't want to worry us," she said.

"It is the bane of my life that on important subjects I acquire no fixed opinion. I think, and think, and go on thinking, and yet my thoughts are running ever in different directions.
