'Oh for goodness' sake, Sybil,' said Lady Eylau crossly, 'I know I'm not well up in the affairs of the young, but you are really getting quite divorced from reality. You know, or ought to know, that no nice girls have any money any more; and the ones that should have been nice all sit around listening to incomprehensible gramophone records and smoke disgusting cigarettes called "joints". A peculiar brand name, isn't it, but they're all the rage. I went into Fortnum's only the other day to get a hundred in for the little sherry party I'm giving next month, as they seem to be so popular, only to be told that they didn't stock them. It was probably just as well. Old General Gracenote was telling me that his youngest girl smokes them all day, and they seem to make her even stupider than she normally is. And they smell so nasty, like burning grass. Whatever can they put in them?'
