The blinds drawn down Whenever the sun Shines for a minute, the French flounces that seem to hide all that is womanly and human, the ridiculous headgear that comes from Paris and makes the English matron a guy, the Silly tittle-tattle that - but What is the use of finding fault with all these things I am to live With them from now henceforth, and the sooner I get to like them the better for poor me.
