It seemed rath er nice at first when a tempting little tray was brought Into me after I had had my bath, and I discussed my breakfast and a novel in great comfort; but when I was dressed and ready to Join the festivities I felt rather at a loss, particularly as I saw from my window my hostess canter ing gjvly away with several of our party for a morning ride.
