Together they took Virginia on holiday sprees to the theatre, and the three had many of their meals together, usually in Milly's apartment, as she had found Ernestine's home "impossible," a "barracks," and the food, "just food." Virginia had gotten used to the withered hand and no longer found Ernestine so "queer."
