Judith did not at all know what to make of this answer.
"What is aunt Zara going to get for you?"
"I do not know—some dresses, I think."
Judith's eye ran up and down Matilda's dress again. "That was made in the country, wasn't it?"
"Mrs. Laval had it made."
"Yes, but you will want another. Aunt Zara—aunt Zara!—Aren't you going to get her a cloak?"
"A cloak?" said Mrs. Laval looking round. "Yes; that is what I brought her for."
"There!" said Judy, "now you know something you didn't know before. What sort of a cloak would you like?"
"I don't know," said Matilda in a flutter of delight. "Mrs. Laval knows."
"I suppose she does, but she doesn't know what you would like, unless you tell her. Let us watch the people coming in and see if we see anything you would like. Isn't it funny?"
