a gray elephant slept insincerely
a jaguar approached cautiously
somewhere a stock fell
and a little girl was instructed in arithmetic but found it boring
just because something happened does not make it important, dr dee explained patiently
nor, dr burton added, is something interesting just because someone takes the trouble to describe it
victoria squirmed sullenly in her chair
and wished she were outside lying in the grass, with or without her puppy
someone someone someone, she thought
why are they always running on about this so-called someone
where is my fancy man?
and when will it be time for tea?
*
the white dog walked loudly over the polished floor
agatha was not amused
but what could she do?
lord marsdale had her in his power, at least until the court finally ruled on uncle frederick’s will
and that might not be for many years
how agatha wished she were a man, or a bird
or even the foolish white dog walking loudly over the polished floor
sometimes she thought she hated the dog even more than lord marsdale
and then suddenly a thought hit her like a thunderbolt
she had never seen lord marsdale and the white dog together!
whole new vistas opened up before her
