It is better to pull the string at once when you are in the shower-bath, and not to stand shivering, thinking of the inevitable shock which you can only postpone for a few minutes. Lady Macleod in this case had pulled the string, and thus reaped the advantage of her alacrity. "Well, my dear," said her ladyship, "I suppose you will like to go up-stairs and take off your bonnet.
