Question

Mabel is thinking too much of her dress. Propose five sentences supporting the above statement.

Answer 1

1. She could not face the whole horror - the pale yellow, idiotically old fashioned silk dress with its long skirt and its high sleeves and its waist and all the things that looked so charming in the fashion book, but not on her, not among all these ordinary people.
2. I feel like some dowdy, decrepit, horribly dingy old fly.
3. She faced herself straight in the glass; she pecked at her left shoulder; she issued out into the room, as if spears were thrown at her yellow dress from all sides.
4. It’s so old-fashioned.
5. But in her yellow dress to-night she could not wring out one drop more; she wanted it all, all for herself
6. It seemed to her that the yellow dress was a penance which she had deserved.
