Julia Seymour

Dainty Wear

Having a quiet time at home, JULIA SEYMOUR was intrigued by the little parcel that dropped into her lap.

She opened it up. It contained items of dainty wear, which pleased her no end. How nice of someone to think of me, she thought. They all seemed exquisitely hers in size and appeal and she was just about to make them her very own when her sister came in and said some people have got a nerve, helping themselves to gift parcels which didn't belong to them.

"Oh, well, the thought of ownership was nice while it lasted," said Julia philosophically.

And there's always Christmas in the offing.
