At any rate to me there seemed something beautiful about the meeting of these two.
The influence of Miss Heda in the house was felt at once.

The boys became smarter and put on clean clothes.

Vases of flowers appeared in the various rooms; ours was turned out and cleaned, a disagreeable process so far as we were concerned.

Moreover, at dinner both Marnham and Rodd wore dress clothes with short jackets, a circumstance that put Anscombe and myself to shame since we had none.

It was curious to see how with those dress clothes, which doubtless awoke old associations within him, Marnham changed his colour like a chameleon.
