"White, of course."
"Now why 'of course'? People don't always wear white when they are traveling."
"But this isn't exactly traveling; it's just going to the city and we're not more than an hour on the train."
[129] "Well, I don't care. I am going to wear the linen. At least I am going to ask Jennie what she is going to put on, for of course I shouldn't want both of you to wear white and me not."
"What are you going to wear, Jennie?" Dorothy called out to the next room.
"My blue linen, the embroidered one."
"There, what did I say?" exclaimed Edna in triumph.
"Well, anyhow, it is much more dressy than yours; it is more colory, and it is embroidered. I wouldn't wear that plain thing if I were you."
All this made doubts arise in Edna's own mind, and she sat disconsolately looking at the frock she had brought out to wear.
"You'd better hurry and get dressed and not sit there dreaming," Dorothy warned her.
