Oh, Bella, I've had lots of trouble
to-day, and I've a serious time ahead of me--but all the same I am such
a happy woman. [_Turning to look at_ BELLA, _she disarranges her hair,
much to_ BELLA'S _disapproval._] Do you love Mr. Gootch tremendously,
Bella?
BELLA. Why, love isn't the word! my feeling for Mr. Gootch is a positive
worship. When I get to thinking of him in the underground I always go
by my station, sometimes two.
GEORGIANA. Be grateful for your love, Bella; it's a wonderful thing.
BELLA. [_Finishing the dressing of the hair._] You know I've just done
Mrs. Wishings, she puts too much on!
GEORGIANA. Does she rouge?
BELLA. No, hair. I don't mind a switch or two for foundation, and a
couple of puffs for ornament, with a tight curl or two for
style,--especially if you've got one of those new undilated fronts, but
I think that's all you can expect to have any hair dresser make look as
if it growed there. There! How's that?
[_Puts hairpin in_ GEORGIANA'S _hair._
GEORGIANA. [_Holding up_ DICK'S _photograph._] How's that, Dick--is it
all right?
BELLA. [_Delighted._] Ain't that a cute idea?
GEORGIANA.
