"Gone Groupy, has she?" said Hugh. "How rotten for Tom!"
"Well, it is rather, because Connie's started forgiving him for all sorts of things he never knew he'd done. We're hoping that she'll get over it quickly, because she's president of the Women's Conservative Association, besides running the Mothers, and the Village Club, and now that she's a God-guided citizen she simply hasn't a moment to attend to Good Works. I don't know why it is, but when people get Changed they never seem to be as nice as they were before."
"Tomfoolery!" said Sir William. "I thought she had more sense!"
"It's since Elizabeth got married, and went to India," explained his wife. "Poor dear, I expect she suddenly felt rather aimless, and that's how it happened. Only I thought I'd better warn you both."
"Good God!" said Sir William. "She won't talk that stuff, will she?"
"Oh yes, she's bound to! As far as I can make out, you practically have to testify, if you're God-controlled."
"At a dinner-party?" said Sir William awfully.
"Anywhere, dearest."
"But you don't talk about God at dinner! Damme, it's not decent!"
"No, it does make it all seem rather cheap, doesn't it?" agreed Lady Dering. "However, they seem to think that a good thing, and after all, it's nothing to do with us."
