"De3p te recent reaction | think the

Still | am bound to say that even

upper class seems to be distinctly
prettier than any Of her Europen Sis

qualities and improves on them too
Her clothes are so smart that you
wonder how on earth she can afford
to buy them. Her blouse is always
spOtlessly clean, her hair effectively
