Jane thought about it and wasn't sure how she felt about that yet.  She had not been active in social life in some time.  She had spent more time with the doctors, nurses, and nuns.  Some of the nuns had come from a very common background and had been quite well behaved.  Some were very common in their speaking, but others might have been landed such as her own father.

Mrs. Ripley frowned though.  "That is happening in a lot of places that we've been.  I guess we must be polite and show how proper behavior looks like in front of them.  I wouldn't want to be accused of being rude nor snobbish.  But goodness, how things are changing." She sipped her tea with a slight shake of her head.
