[Mrs. Hunter stops her with a warning look.
Mrs. Hunter. But every one has been most kind. Lady Hopeton sent me a beautiful long letter to-day.
Miss Godesby. And I'm glad to find you looking so well. Black suits you!
[She exchanges a knowing glance with Miss Sillerton.
Mrs. Hunter. Oh, I don't know, Julia; I've always thought black very trying for me.
Miss Godesby. Oh, no! every one's saying just the reverse!
Mrs. Hunter. But—I suppose clothes don't interest you, Mr. Trotter?
Trotter. Oh, yes, they do, out of sight!
Clara. Well, I wish you could have seen the beautiful things we brought over with us!
Miss Sillerton. Julia and I were just speaking about it, and pitying you from the bottom of our hearts.
