"Well, yes, I should like it," said Mrs. Aylmer; "you see, you know all about it, and I don't.  You told me so little in your letter.  You don't write half as long letters as you used to, Flo.  I wish you would, for I have nothing else to divert me.  I have turned and re-turned my best dress--I turned it upside down last year, and downside up this year, and back to front and front to back, and I am trimming it now with frills which I have cut another old skirt up to make, and I really cannot do anything more with it.  It won't by stylish, try as I will, and your Aunt Susan hasn't sent me a cast-off of hers for the last two years.  It's very stingy of her, very stingy indeed.  She sells her clothes now to a dealer in London who buys up all sorts of wardrobes.  Before she found out this wardrobe-dealer I used to get her cast-offs and managed quite nicely.  It's horrid of her.  She is a very unamiable character.  Don't you ever take after her, Florry, be sure you don't."
