(looking at it critically)
Yes, I own I’m rather pleased with it.
MRS. CLOUSTON
(acidly)
You seem to be able to dress very well altogether, in spite of the shop.
JANET
(correcting her)
Because of it, Aunt Harriet. That’s the advantage of being what is called “in trade.” If I were a school teacher or a governess or something genteel of that kind I could only afford to dress like a pauper. But as I keep a shop I can dress like a lady. Clothes are a question of money, after all, aren’t they?
