Twenty-one and Twenty-two Summary

In Chapter Twenty-one, Belinda is confused by her trip to LeSound's. Two ladies bring her dresses and have her try them own, but no mention is made of which ones or one she'd like to purchase. The ladies, who don't seem to be speaking in English, also have her try on shoes, gloves and coats. She leaves the store believing that she has impressed upon the ladies that she liked one particular green dress. Belinda believes that it will be delivered later. When Belinda tries to pay for her gown, she is told that Mrs. Stafford-Smyth has requested the bill be sent to her. When Belinda later questions the lady, she tells Belinda that her wardrobe comes with the position as she is to be Mrs. Stafford-Smyth's companion.

Belinda is surprised when not just the one dress is delivered...
