endure a man like Herr
How nice to see you, Mrs.
Dunn. Newport has been most
becoming to you. Dreadful! But
you don't look as though the
carpenter or the paper hanger
or an addition to your house
ever troubled your existence. ..
And the pretty Mariana? Oh,
she'll be back from Boston in
November? How nice.
A very sensible and beautiful
wedding ceremony, wasn't it?

father with her eyes fixed en-

groom will be there waiting. :;
Oh, no, the brides father didn't

no part in.

little things? And so sweet in
white.

Nice to see you in this country
again.
Let's go into the drawing
room. They have taken that
big Aubusson rug up. See, they
are serving food here. How are
you, Madame Prochnik? The
last time I saw you, you were
under an umbrella on the sand
at Rehoboth. Cocktails on
Monday? We'd love to-. Coco

Did you have nice summer?
How did you escape all of your
responsibilities so long?

spent the summer sitting on a
hill in Maine.
Why, good afternoon, Mr..
Minister. Don't tell me you

baby to all the castles in
Southern France. OF course he
is a good baby. l suspect you

and travelling companions.
How are you, Frau Leltner .v
Doesn't Frau Leitner look like
a Madonna? Imagine a Ma

not?
Isn't it amazing how the
British Ambassador makes al
most everybody else seem I'M
important. I'm glad to meet
you, Madam Frau Lohmann's
mother? I've known your
daughter a long time. Men
look marvellous in morning
clothes, don't they? Terribly
