Chapter IX
One morning when they were all going out in Mrs. Lander's gondola, she sent Clementina back three times to their rooms for outer garments of differing density. When she brought the last Mrs. Lander frowned. “This won't do. I've got to have something else--something lighter and warma.” “I can't go back any moa, Mrs. Landa,” cried the girl, from the exasperation of her own nerves.
