Why of course Ann had left a note for her. So she looked for the note tossed everything in the room topsy-turvey. Even looked in the closet. Again she heard Nora in the hall. "Nora," she said, and Katie's face was white and pleading, "didn't Miss Ann say anything about leaving me a note?" "Why yes, Miss Kate yes sure she did. I was so upset about them champagne glasses " "Well, where is it?
That time was full of a quite topsy-turvey tyranny, and the English humorist stood on his head to suit it. Indeed, he often receives a quite irrational sentence in a police court by saying he will do it on his head.
