I thought that a pretty good sign, wasn't it?
You wouldn't let a chap carry round your slippers unless you knew him pretty well, would you, Miss Philippa ?" "Oh no, nobody would," said Philippa.

This of course, was a standing principle of the Anglican Church.
"And a little after that Dulphemia and Charlie Mostyn and I were walking to Mrs.Buncomhearst's musical, and we'd only just started along the street, when she stopped and sent me back for her music--me, mind you, not Charlie.

That seems to me awfully significant." "It seems to speak volumes," said Philippa.
"Doesn't it ?" said Mr.Spillikins.

"You don't mind my telling you all about this Miss Philippa ?" he added.
Incidentally Mr.Spillikins felt that it was all right to call her Miss Philippa, because she had a sister who was really Miss Furlong, so it would have been quite wrong, as Mr.Spillikins realized, to have called Miss Philippa by her surname.

In any case, the beauty of the morning was against it.
"I don't mind a bit," said Philippa.
