"Why should we go there?"
"It is the headquarters of all the female gossips in the town."
"Then we will go. It is the place for information. Who is Mrs. Foot?"
"The mother of the three tall young ladies whom you have seen escorted by Love, Dove, and Bliss."
"The giraffes in petticoats? What are their names?"
"Cleopatra, Theodosia, and Sophonisba."
"They are very tall women with very long names. Which of them was carrying little Love hooked to her arm?"
"That was Cleopatra."
"And the one who was looking down so benignly on Dove?"
"Theodosia."
