"Heavens! I don't know how to cut that," exclaimed Bobs.
"No more do I," said Jinny.
"Let me look at it," Jane remarked, and they all waited for her comment.
"Does this hang straight, neck to hem?" she asked.
He explained it carefully to her.
"I think I can cut it; then I'll pin it on you, Miss Roberts, and if it's right we'll cut them all at once."
"Heaven be praised for Jane," said Bobs.
Jane went to work. For the next two hours they worked over it, Jerry explaining, Jane executing. Jerry was nervous and spoke impatiently now and then, but Jane was calm. In the end the gown was cut and basted and hung on tired Bobs. Then Jane ripped it up, to cut all the rest by it, and real work began. Jerry had to go to rehearsal, so he left them hard at it.
"You've saved my life, you three blessed, stitching old Fates," said he.
"What more could any woman ask?" said Bobs.
