"Be quite sure," returns she, smiling. Stands by her side one bold, bright, steady star, "I'll see about it. And, oh, Geoffrey, I do hope you will like me in it, and think me pretty," she says, anxiously, half fearful of this gown that is meant to transform a "beggar maid" into a queen fit for "King Cophetua."
