Winston, Ballsworthy is an idiot and a fool "whose buzz the witty and fair annoys, yet wit ne'er tastes and beauty ne'er enjoys" (as Pope wrote). Drop a brick on his head or ignore him; I recommend the latter as that sort of person suffers more from inattention than from anything else.

As for Veronica, may I suggest a good university college? Perhaps Girton (the late Queen Mother was given the first degree awarded there), or even a women's college in another country?

The Idaho Legion, as I can say from experience, is not what it pretends to be. It's much more like Brooke's than anything else, and membership IS quite restrictive and becoming moreso.
