I Purchase a Handsome Carriage, and Proceed to Parma With the Old Captain and the Young Frenchwoman I Pay a Visit to Javotte, and Present Her With a Beautiful Pair of Gold Bracelets My Perplexities Respecting My Lovely Travelling Companion A Monologue Conversation with the Captain Tete- a-Tete with Henriette
On this particular afternoon, the two younger sisters were taking tea with school friends, while their elders enjoyed an uninterrupted tete- a-tete, when they could indulge in a favourite game.
Before I went away I had a few more words tete- a-tete with the Countess. "I hope you are not leaving Florence yet," she said; "you will stay a while longer?" I answered that I came only for a week, and that my week was over. "I stay on from day to day, I am so much interested." "Eh, it's the beautiful moment. I'm glad our city pleases you!"
It really was for once a case of virtue its own reward, for it was far pleasanter to her to have him in a tete- a-tete, however short, than in the restraint of Mrs. Gibson's and Cynthia's presence. 'I only just found out where you were, Molly. Mrs. Gibson said you had gone out, but she didn't know where; and it was the greatest chance that I turned round and saw you.
Tete- a-tete with Ralph Percival, Darsie felt a giant of strength and resource assured, self-confident, a bulwark against which others might lean.
Madame Prune, no longer able to make a mystery of the long-pent up feelings that agitate her, pays me the most marked and tender attentions, and begs my acceptance of a quantity of little souvenirs: an image, a little vase, a little porcelain goddess of the moon in Satsuma ware, a marvellously grotesque ivory figure; I tremblingly follow her into the dark corners whither she calls me to give me these presents in tete- a-tete.
Lynde saw, among other gracious things in this day's ride, a promising opportunity for a tete- a-tete with Miss Denham. Here and there, along the winding ascents, would be tempting foot-paths, short pine shaded cuts across the rocks, by which the carriage could be intercepted farther on.
When the door opened she looked up with that shrinking expression of dread which is so pitiful to see on a young face, for to be left tete- a-tete with Mademoiselle seemed under the circumstances the most terrible thing that could happen.
Neither Miss Monro nor Ellinor felt themselves of sufficient importance or station to call on the new comers, but they were as well acquainted with the proceedings of the family as if they had been in daily intercourse; they knew that the eldest Miss Beauchamp was seventeen, and very pretty, only one shoulder was higher than the other; that she was dotingly fond of dancing, and talked a great deal in a tete- a-tete, but not much if her mamma was by, and never opened her lips at all if the dean was in the room; that the next sister was wonderfully clever, and was supposed to know all the governess could teach her, and to have private lessons in Greek and mathematics from her father; and so on down to the little boy at the preparatory school and the baby-girl in arms.
