As she delivers this oracular sentence, she points almost tragically towards the wall in question. "Pretty? No. But she dresses very swagger, and always looks nice, and is generally correct all through," replies Mr. Rodney, easily. "My own old pet," says Mrs. Geoffrey, still mysteriously, and with the fondest smile imaginable..
