"She is lovely, isn't she?" she replied ardently. "But her dress isn't half so gorgeous as yours," she added heartily. "It's cleared off, after all," he said. "It's going to be a ripping fine day tomorrow." "Well, I was not quite myself, major, in the first place; and in the second I missed Dido!".
