Chapter III
Emily came to Lady Agatha before she retired, looking even a little flushed. "What are you going to wear at the treat to-morrow?" she asked. "A white muslin, with _entre-deux_ of lace, and the gauze garden-hat, and a white parasol and shoes." Lady Agatha looked a little nervous; her pink fluttered in her cheek. "And to-morrow night?" said Emily.
