Fleda skipped away, and in five minutes returned arrayed for the expedition, in her usual out-of-door working trim, namely, an old dark merino cloak, almost black, the effect of which was continued by the edge of an old dark mousseline below, and rendered decidedly striking by the contrast of a large whitish yarn shawl worn over it; the whole crowned with a little close-fitting hood made of some old silver-grey silk, shaped tight to the head, without any bow or furbelow to break the outline.
The Cox's Orange Pekoes have done frightfully well this year the new blend, you know; or should I say hybrid?" At this moment my wife appeared, looking particularly charming in a mousseline de soie aux fines herbes anglicé, a sprigged muslin. I seized her hand and led her aside.

The gown was then unwrapped and displayed. It was of mousseline de soie, trimmed with English point. Susy examined it with the eye of a connoisseur and then nodded her head.
"Yes father not dine at home meet you at the Yolland a guest. Yes but about Tom what? 7:30 But about Tom, daddy? Good-by?!! But, daddy!!!" It was no use. He had hung up.
