Originally in the Army, he had left it when a junior captain, and had settled down to the normal life of a country gentleman.
Each of these cities must therefore leave many people unmoved, who after a passing visit, wander away, wondering at the enthusiasm of the worshippers. Paris alone seems to possess the charm that bewitches all conditions, all ages, all degrees. To hold the frivolous-minded she paints her face and dances, leading them a round of folly, exhaustive alike to health and purse.
And when Missy, in rebuttal, once pointed out the promenading Genevieve, Mrs. Merriam had only replied that Genevieve's mother ought to know better that Genevieve was a frivolous-minded girl, anyway. Missy, peering through the parlour lace curtains, made no answer; but she thought: "Bother! Everybody can go walking but me!" Then she thought: "She's laughing awful loud. She is frivolous-minded."

Genevieve, though very striking and vivacious in her white fox, was indubitably a frivolous-minded girl; she, Missy, was going to eat supper with the Reverend MacGill.

I don't think he'll last long at the office."
But then I am by no means as racy as that worldly-minded little government clerk; or perhaps it may be that the time in which I live wants the spice and seasoning of that golden age of rascality in which my Lady Castlemain's white petticoats were to be seen flaunting in the wind by any frivolous-minded lounger who chose to take notes about those garments.
