You have no idea what a talent she has for organisation--she almost takes my breath away some-times.

She planned everything last night and had the list ready for me when I went to bid her good-night." "That accounts for the light in the Red Gallery when Cedric and I came in," remarked Malcolm.
"Yes, we were dreadfully late; but Elizabeth was so wide--awake that I was quite ashamed of my own drowsiness.

I think we shall get a pleasant party together." And as Cedric came in at that moment, Dinah retailed their little plan for his benefit.

Cedric was delighted, and voted Betty a brick.
