``But your remembering each day to send them makes me love them so much more than if you'd given a standing order, and they came every morning on the minute, like one's music-teacher -- as I know Gertrude Lefferts's did, for instance, when she and Lawrence were engaged.''

She seems so surprised to receive flowers. Don't people send them in Europe? She thinks it such a pretty custom.''
