"On arranging one's drawing roon, Elsie remarks, "I have seen a shy young woman completely changed because she happened to sit upon a certain deep cushioned sofa of rose-colored damask. Whether it was the rose color, or the enforced relaxation the sofa induced, or the proximity of some very charming people in comfortable chairs beside her, or all of these things - I don't know! But she found herself. She found herself gay and happy and unafraid."
