"How did you get on at Fanling yesterday, dear? When you drove off I thought you looked like a record round, but, of course, one never can tell. We were awfully late in getting away, and always think that hanging about puts one off one's game. Fancy seeing Mrs. Phenacitin playing golf. What on earth next, because she is the last person in the world to take a spot of exercise. She never walks a yard without grumbling. I thought she looked quite smart, although it really is a pity. that she will do her hair in that abominable way. Bungho's liver hasn't improved a little bit, and his game yesterday really was atrocious-he simply blamed everything for It, even said that I know what it was. I put him off his game. The boy put out the wrong pair of shoes and they nearly pinched him to death. although he wouldn't admit that that was the reason.
That is one thing I've learnt. Always wear Cordon's shoes, they're never wrong and all just too delightfully comfy for words--but then, you do don't you dear.
