The men in this country, said the Baroness, are evidently very obliging.

Her declaration that she was looking for rest and retirement had been by no means wholly untrue; nothing that the Baroness said was wholly untrue.

It is but fair to add, perhaps, that nothing that she said was wholly true.

She wrote to a friend in Germany that it was a return to nature; it was like drinking new milk, and she was very fond of new milk.

She said to herself, of course, that it would be a little dull; but there can be no better proof of her good spirits than the fact that she thought she should not mind its being a little dull.
