"Put one on me, too," said Sharon; "years ago."
"This kitchen," began Patricia again, "is an unsanitary outrage. It needs a thousand things done to it. We'd never have put up with this in the Army. That sink there"—she pointed it out—"must have something of a carbolic nature straight off."
"I know, I know!" Sharon was placating. "I'm going to put everything right for you."
"New paint for all the woodwork—white."
"Sure thing—as white as you want it."
"And blue velours curtains for the big room. I always dreamed I'd have a house with blue velours curtains."
"Sure, sure! Anything you want you order."
"And that fireplace in the big room—I burned some trash there this morning, and it simply won't inhale."
"Never did," said Sharon. "We'll run the chimney up higher. Anything else?"
"Oh, lots! I've a long list somewhere."
