And Peter realized with a pang that he had cut himself off forever from Mount Olympus, and from the porch chair with the soft silken pillows!
Here were soft draperies instead, laces and chiffons. The suggestion was not to the eyes but to the mind. How devilishly clever it all was. Perhaps there were some things he ought to discuss with Graham. He wondered how a man led up to such a thing. Nolan bent toward him. "I've been watching for a girl," he said, "but I don't see her. Last time I was here I came with Chris. She was his girl."
There are matters of which one would hardly dare to talk to Paul. In all things he is the great man. He could hardly condescend to chiffons. Now Sydney can and does. When he is in the mood, on the vital subject of trimmings a woman could not appeal to a sounder authority. I tell him, if he had been a dressmaker, he would have been magnificent. I am sure he would.
