I'll be so mortified if I have to wear it." "I'd rather not go at all than wear a dress that wasn't nice," said Felicity pleasantly.
"I'd go to the wedding if I had to go in my school dress," cried Sara Ray.

"I'm sick and tired of hearing about your Aunt Jane," said Felicity crossly.

"It's all very well to be neat and tidy," said Sara Ray, "but I like a little style too." "I think you'll find your mother will get you a new dress after all," comforted Cecily.
