'And what have you been doing to-day? said Edith to Sybil, by whose side she had seated herself. 'Lady Bardolf did nothing last night but gronder me, because you never go to her parties.
"I am very fond of work," said Lady Marney, "and I talk to them always about it." "Ah! you are fortunate, I never could work; and Joan and Maud, they neither of them work.
