Don’t forget a clean collar, and put a little dressing on mv. patent shoes./" Then I’ll want you to fix my tie and —oh, just brush mv hair up a little, won’t you, dear? Where’s my comb and brush? No, they’re not where I left them last, for I left them here on the table, hind them, please, and then slip a clean handkerchief into my coat pocket, and then—good gracious, woman,- it’s time we were off now. And hero you’ro not half dressed. What- liavo you been doing? Here I’m nearly ready, and you—well, if you women don’t heat the Dutch when it comes to dilly-dallying. I’ve a good mind to go off without you, to teach you to be ready next tune we’re going anywhere. Now, hurry up. Here, I’m all ready.”
