What _have_ you been doing?
Our distinguished guests, to say nothing of my uncle, seem to be in a great fuss about you.

I overheard them talking when I was pretending to arrange some flowers.

One of them called you a sanctimonious prig and an obstinate donkey, and another answered--I think it was Sir Robert -- 'No doubt, but obstinate donkeys can kick and have been known to upset other people's applecarts ere now.' Is the Sahara Syndicate the applecart?
If so, I'll forgive you.
"P.P.S.

Remember that we will walk to church together to-morrow, but come down to breakfast in knickerbockers or something to put them off, and I'll do the same--I mean I'll dress as if I were going to golf.
We can turn into Christians later.

If we don't--dress like that, I mean--they'll guess and all want to come to church, except the Jews, which would bring the judgment of Heaven on us.
