Nona and Lita's Relationship

Lita had always been amiably disposed toward Nona. The two were nearly of an age, united by the prevailing passion for every form of sport. Lita was not only a tireless dancer, but a brilliant if uncertain tennis player and an adventurous rider to hounds. Between her hours of lolling and smoking amber scented cigarettes, every moment of her life was crammed with dancing, riding her games. All she asked was that nothing should hurt her.
