[Penny Plain by Anna Buchan (writing as O. Douglas)]@TWC D-Link bookPenny Plain CHAPTER VI 3/10
She calls him Biddy, and seems devoted to him. "Although she is horribly rich and an 'honourable,' and all that sort of thing, she isn't in the least grand.

Her clothes are beautiful, but so much a part of her personality that you never think of them.
Her pearls don't hit you in the face as most other people's do. Because she is so unconscious of them, I suppose.
I think she is lovely. Jock says she is like a greyhound, and I know what he means--it is the long, swift, graceful way she has of moving.
