If you want to say you have become rather indifferent, you take the right hand glove half off. It a gentleman may, follow the lady or come and pay her a visit, she strikes her left arm with her glove. ‘ I should so much like to be with you, dear,’ is said by smoothing and polishing slowly’ and nicely both gloves.
