"We may no longer have it in our power to punish Mrs. Langdon
Masters," she said. "But at least we shall punish others who violate
our code, even as we have done in the past. San Francisco Society
shall always be a model for the rest of the world."
"I hope so!" cried Mrs. McLane. "But the world has a queer fashion
of changing and moving."
Mrs. Ballinger rose. "I have no misgivings for the future of our
Society, Antoinette McLane. Our grandchildren will uphold the
traditions we have created, for our children will pass on to them our
own immutable laws. Shall we go into the front parlor? I do so want
to show it to you. I have a new set of blue satin damask and a
crystal chandelier."

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
