"You don't know? Don't you know what you wear every day?"
"Yes, but I don't know what will be my every day frock. I do not wear the same in the morning and in the afternoon."
"You don't!" said Anne. "How many dresses have you?"
"And what are they?" added Letitia.
Matilda was obliged to tell.
"Think of it!" said Letty. "This child! She has silks and cashmeres and reps, more than she can use; and I, old as I am, haven't a dress to go to church in, but one that I have worn a whole winter. I could get one for twenty shillings, and I haven't money to spare for that!"
"Hush," said Anne; "we shall do better by and by, when we have gone further into the business."
"We shall be delving in the business though, for it, all the while. And Matilda is to do nothing and live grand. She'll be too grand to look at us and Maria."
"Where do you live?" Anne asked.
"It's the corner of 40th street and Blessington Avenue."
