And the piers also were loaded with excited humanity and radiant colour. And all the windows of all the houses and hotels were open, and blowing with curtains and flowers and hats. The whole town was enfevered. Hilda thought, her heart still beating, but less noisily, "I scarcely ever come here. I don't come here often enough."
But on this particular afternoon there had apparently been none. The cures which had so far passed before them were doubtful ones, deficient in interest.
