Sally looked contentedly down the long table. She felt happy at last. Everybody was talking and laughing now, and her party, rallying after an uncertain start, was plainly the success she had hoped it would be. The first atmosphere of uncomfortable restraint, caused, she was only too well aware, by her brother Fillmores white evening waistcoat, had worn off; and the male and female patrons of Mrs. Meechers select boarding-house (transient and residential) were themselves again. At her end of the table the conversation had turned once more to the great vital topic of Sallys legacy and what she ought to do with it. The next best thing to having money of ones own, is to dictate the spending of somebody elses, and Sallys guests were finding a good deal of satisfaction in arranging a Budget for her. Rumour having put the sum at their disposal at a high figure, their suggestions had certain spaciousness.
