I don't mind Beatrice having her whirl at the thing. A new colour scheme as often as she has a manicure; that's different.
"Speaking about the fella that just went out," she said. "August yonder is all the time trying to guy me about him. I should worry! He ain't my style. Honest, I think he's nutty." Politely Green uttered one of those noncommittal sounds that may be taken to mean almost anything. But the manicure lady was of a temperament needing no prompting.

It's like finding them." "If the Mediterranean gets any bluer," said Mary, "I don't think I can stand it, it's so lovely." Mrs. Hubbell, at tea, expressed a desire to dance.
Milliner, manicure, butler, chef, club, card-table, tea table, these and a thousand things like them filled her day, and they might all be swept away in an hour, and leave no one the worse.
