Along most lines I was in the dark concerning her, but to one dictum I dared to hold: no girl of twenty-two or thereabouts, more than ordinarily attractive, ought to be traveling unchaperoned about this wicked world. I felt very cheerful, very contented, as my taxi bore me into old Paris. The ancient streets, had a decided lure and charm.
South is simply, as yet, uncivilized. Otherwise, he would hardly take you, unchaperoned, to well, let us say to ultra-bohemian resorts, where you are seen by such gossip-mongers as William Farbish." "So, that's the specific charge, is it?" "Yes, that's the specific charge. Mr. South may be a man of unusual talent and strength. But he has done what no other man has done with you.
The charter to move abroad unchaperoned, which society for good reasons grants only to women of three sorts the famous, the ministering, and the improper Ethelberta was in a fair way to make splendid use of: instead of walking in protected lanes she experienced that luxury of isolation which normally is enjoyed by men alone, in conjunction with the attention naturally bestowed on a woman young and fair.
Claxton remarked to her daughter when the school question was up, and when the latter deplored the unchaperoned condition of her young friend, she added, "That was the way in Virginia. A girl had a lot of beaux and she got no harm from it, if she were a good girl." Milly was a good girl without any doubt, astonishing as it may seem.
It seemed, according to Aunt Cornelia, that a young man and a young woman of impressionable age living in the same house unchaperoned constituted an "impossible social situation," Either Pauline or Harry must move out or someone must be installed as chaperon.

"I beg you, do not misunderstand me. In the first place, would Mr. Harley have asked you to visit him at my home, if he had not been well assured that you could do so with propriety?

I can hear you exclaim over that plural, but there are no side-saddles. That is how it came that I was unchaperoned Agatha won't take liberties with them, the saddles. Thank Heaven!"

I pointed to the asters that must be set out and covered before the sun was high, but she couldn't understand, and went off in a huff.
"I don't doubt it, but in Rome one must do as the Romans do, Miss Briskett! In England a man does not take a girl to a theatre unchaperoned. It's not the thing." "I don't care a mite. It's the custom with us, anyway, and there's no country in the world where women are more respected. What's the harm, I want to know!" "No harm at all. That's not the question.
