TO MRS. E. L. HOMANS
No, my dear May, I positively will not hear another word about 'Love in a Cloud.' I am tired to death of the very sound of its stupid name.
Oh, Mrs. Harbinger, May Calthorpe responded, eagerly defensive, it isn't a stupid name.
Mrs. Harbinger settled herself back into the pile of gay cushions in the corner of the sofa, and went on without heeding the interruption:—
I have heard nothing but 'Love in a Cloud,' 'Love in a Cloud,' until it gives me a feeling of nausea. Nobody talks of anything else.
May nodded her head triumphantly, a bright sparkle in her brown eyes.
That only shows what a perfectly lovely book it is, she declared.
Mrs. Harbinger laughed, and bent forward to arrange a ribbon at May's throat.
