But it might be made very nice with a little trouble, only you see Bridget has never cared to play with it. Biddy had drawn near and was standing listening.
We are not told of the wry face they made when, with ideals in their souls, they were set to compose chair-seats for the Pompadour. Her preference was for Boucher. Perhaps his revenge showed itself by treating the bourgeoise courtisane to a bit of coarseness now and then, slyly hid in dainties.
