And she looked pretty tip-top; only there was nobody to see her only herself.
So she swung round, and stopped before the glass, and bobbed to herself, and said,
"You're pretty jolly, Miss."
Then she remembered Tiny and the tea-thing, and she roared, and said,
"You're far worse than Tiny, my dear girl!" And she gave a twirl and a skip and kicked her hand with her foot; and was as free and happy as a lark because she knew she had won.
And Baby always won over Tiny, because she always won over herself. And if you can't win over yourself, you can't expect to win over other people.
And a woman can always win over a man, so long as the man is decently good, and so long as she goes by the Big Rule. For the Big Rule is the same in That Country as in all others.
And the Big Rule is,
Love is Power.
