She's to come over in a day or two--Mrs.Wimbush wants her to hear Mr.Paraday.
"To-day's wet and cold, and several of the company, at the invitation of the Duke, have driven over to luncheon at Bigwood.

I saw poor Paraday wedge himself, by command, into the little supplementary seat of a brougham in which the Princess and our hostess were already ensconced.
If the front glass isn't open on his dear old back perhaps he'll survive.
Bigwood, I believe, is very grand and frigid, all marble and precedence, and I wish him well out of the adventure.

I can't tell you how much more and more your attitude to him, in the midst of all this, shines out by contrast.

I never willingly talk to these people about him, but see what a comfort I find it to scribble to you! I appreciate it--it keeps me warm; there are no fires in the house.

Mrs.Wimbush goes by the calendar, the temperature goes by the weather, the weather goes by God knows what, and the Princess is easily heated.
