From Chapter Twenty-One - The Masculine Graces
"It is a very nice thing, however, to send flowers for decoration to a girl who is giving a party. I once knew a charming gentleman with imagination enough to do that. He filled my apartment with flowers the afternoon I was giving a large cocktail party -- and sent along his Filipino butler, too, to help out."

I think she fills a whole bingo card with just one sentence. Now that's impressive.
