Spillikins, as he gazed at her in her white summer dress and wide picture hat, with her parasol nodding above her head, realized that after all, religion, as embodied in the younger sisters of the High Church clergy, fills a great place in the world. "By Jove!" he repeated, "how awfully good of you!" "Not a bit," said Philippa. "Hop in. Dulphemia was coming, but she couldn't.
"I don't mind a bit," said Philippa. "I think it's awfully nice of you to tell me about it." She didn't add that she knew all about it already. "You see," said Mr. Spillikins, "you're so awfully sympathetic. It makes it so easy to talk to you. With other girls, especially with clever ones, even with Dulphemia. I often feel a perfect jackass beside them. But I don t feel that way with you at all."
"But come," said Mr. Newberry, after he had finished adjusting the gravel with his foot, "there are Mrs. Newberry and the girls on the verandah. Let's go and join them." A few minutes later Mr. Spillikins was talking with Mrs. Newberry and Dulphemia Rasselyer-Brown, and telling Mrs. Newberry what a beautiful house she had.
It was so different from that of the young men of the salon. Thus, when Mr. Sikleigh Snoop handed her into the car at any time he would dance about saying, "Allow me," and "Permit me," and would dive forward to arrange the robes. But the Philippine chauffeur merely swung the door open and said to Dulphemia, "Get in," and then slammed it.
And he realized that he had actually drifted off the topic of Dulphemia, a thing that had never happened to him before. "I was going to say that at one of the meetings, you know, I asked her if I might call her Dulphemia." "And what did she say to that?" asked Philippa. "She said she didn't care what I called her. So I think that looks pretty good, don't you?" "Awfully good," said Philippa.
"Oh, it wasn't much," said Mrs. Newberry. "In fact, it was merely an accident. Newberry, who was thirsty and who wasn't really thinking what he was saying, asked Franklin to give him a glass of hock. Franklin said at once, 'I'm very sorry, sir, I don't care to serve hock after the entree!" "And of course he was right," said Dulphemia with emphasis. "Exactly; he was perfectly right.
