Oranges and lemons rang the chimes of St Clement’s, and Westminster’s division bell was dumb.

She’s the kind of woman who’s misunderstood: they think because she’s so pretty and wears her clothes so well, and because she gossips and chatters, that she’s nothing but a ballerina in a jewelry box turning round and round; but I knew from her first letter that she’d a sharpness to her – I don’t think she misses anything, not even now.
