'Lie quiet and go to sleep, was Monica's last word, uttered contemptuously.
Her talk was of the most insignificant things; this afternoon she spent nearly half an hour in describing a kitten which Mrs. Conisbee had given her; care of the little animal appeared to have absorbed her whole attention for many days past. Another visitor to-day was Mr. Newdick, the City clerk who had been present at Monica's wedding. He and Mrs.
A luxurious meal, moreover; for in her excitement Virginia had resolved to make a feast of Monica's birthday. There was a tiny piece of salmon, a dainty cutlet, and a cold blackcurrant tart. Virginia, at home a constant vegetarian, took no share of the fish and meat which was only enough for one person. Alice, alone upstairs, made a dinner of gruel.

Monica is much the best person to see me through." "You are very fond of her, then." "She has been extraordinarily sensible with me." Margaret guessed at Monica's type "Italiano Inglesiato" they had named it the crude feminist of the South, whom one respects but avoids. And Helen had turned to it in her need! "You must not think that we shall never meet," said Helen, with a measured kindness.
They'd call us 'The Gold Seekers', or some other stupid name, simply for the sake of teasing. Besides, if it were talked about among the rest, it would be sure to get to Monica's ears, and we particularly don't want that." "No, she mustn't hear a word of it." "Very well, then, we had better keep it to ourselves. Will you promise faithfully that it shall be a dead secret just between you and me?"
'That means you would consider it going to prison. 'How could I help? What other motive have you? He was prompted to make brutal declaration of authority, and so cut the knot.
