"I didn't realize that we could enjoy ourselves so much for such a long time. It's been a whole month now, and getting nicer every day. We've been always so pinched that it seems almost wicked to be so careless about spending money, doesn't it, Norn?" "It is a fact," insisted Jen. "I have the evidence of Jaggard to prove that Dido was in the room on that night.".
