"That you would not wear your uniform. I didn't think nurses thought it necessary when they were taking holidays."
"I won't, if you dislike it," said Mollie. "I have brought a dress which I can wear. It is not very fashionable, but I don't suppose that matters."
"Would you not rather, Gavon, that Mollie did not come in her uniform?" asked Kitty, in an eager voice.
"Mollie must do exactly what she pleases," was the reply.
"I see you would both rather not have attention drawn to me," said Mollie. "That is quite enough. I will dress as an ordinary lady."
"And lose a good deal," said Gavon. "But perhaps you are right. There is so much disturbance in the air, that anything even savouring of the military draws attention at the present moment."
"Come upstairs at once, Mollie, and I will help to turn you into a fashionable lady," said Kitty, with a laugh.
