Remark:
"O Major! Do give me the advantage of your exquisite taste. What do you think of these rings?" -- "Very handsome." -- "But" (giving due prominence to third finger of left hand) "you see I never wear rings." -- Major (with great presence of mind): "Miss Scraggs! You are quite right. It would be sacrilege to deform with jewels a hand so beautifully moulded by Nature."
