Garland had again reached the door to the outer hall before Everett called him back.
Do tell us if it is as fine as it looks, and as the catalogue says." "It is the very nicest place in the world," was the enthusiastic reply. "There are hardly any rules, and none of them are the kind that rub you up the wrong way.
