Ursula looked at her mother and father, and was suddenly seized with uncontrollable laughter.

The two girls stood in the road and laughed till the tears ran down their faces, as they caught sight again of the shy, unworldly couple of their parents going on ahead.
'We are roaring at you, mother,' called Ursula, helplessly following after her parents.
Mrs Brangwen turned round with a slightly puzzled, exasperated look.
'Oh indeed!' she said.

'What is there so very funny about ME, I should like to know ?' She could not understand that there could be anything amiss with her appearance.

She had a perfect calm sufficiency, an easy indifference to any criticism whatsoever, as if she were beyond it.

Her clothes were always rather odd, and as a rule slip-shod, yet she wore them with a perfect ease and satisfaction.
