"I shall be delighted," said Miss Snagg, "but I'm afraid there's hardly time to write them before we begin, is there?" "Oh, but it would be all right to write them afterwards," chorussed several ladies who understood such things; "it's quite often done that way." "And I should like to move that we vote a constitution," said a stout lady with a double eye-glass. "Is that carried?" said Mrs.
