The last- named, very soon after our acquaintanceship, invited me to write for him, and thus I was able to add the Edinburgh as well as the Quarterly to the trophies of my pen. My wife and I used often to dine at his house always a place of good company even if the aura was markedly Victorian.
Thus men are conjoined in a vast network of ACQUAINTANCESHIP. Brown knows Jones, Jones knows Robinson, etc.; and BY CHOOSING YOUR FARTHER INTERMEDIARIES RIGHTLY you may carry a message from Jones to the Empress of China, or the Chief of the African Pigmies, or to anyone else in the inhabited world.
"How long did your acquaintanceship with him last what period did it extend over?" "I should say about six months to nine months." "No more?" "Certainly no more." "It was quite a slight acquaintanceship, then?" "Oh, quite!" "And yet, after losing sight of this merely slight acquaintance for over twenty years, you, on meeting him, take great interest in him?"
The latter recognised her and nodded, for which Carrie returned a smile. This settled the probability of acquaintanceship. If there had been no faint recognition on this occasion, there would have been no future association. Carrie saw no more of Mrs.
The acquaintanceship might, however, have ended in a slow forgetting, but for an incident which occurred at the end of the same week. One afternoon it began to freeze, and the frost increased with evening, which drew on like a stealthy tightening of bonds.
"Er may I will you let me show you " prolonged struggle with the nuts and sawdust; then rapidly "some of the places to-morrow?" He had hardly spoken the words when it was borne in upon him that he was a vulgar, pushing bounder, presuming on a dead and buried acquaintanceship to force his company on a girl who naturally did not want it, and who would now proceed to snub him as he deserved.
She seemed remarkably intelligent; and even then, at the very beginning of their acquaintanceship, she made Alan understand that she intended to learn his language. Indeed, she seemed concerned about little else; and she went about her task systematically and with an ability that amazed him.
But that was no restraint on him. He began, in a pleasant tone of old acquaintanceship, to Gaston: "I suppose, Gaston, you and Madame Cheverny travel often to Versailles?" "Not very often," replied Gaston, recovering something of ease now that the conversation had turned away from the unlucky clothes.
Madame de Ventadour, in retiring from the mere frivolities of society from crowded rooms, and the inane talk and hollow smiles of mere acquaintanceship became more sensible of the pleasures that her refined and elegant intellect could derive from art and talent, and the communion of friendship. She drew around her the most cultivated minds of her time and country.
In England and France, all over the continent of Europe, in fact, the other sex are deferential to women only from some presumption of their social standing, or from the fact of acquaintanceship; but among strangers, and under circumstances where no particular rank or position can be inferred, a woman traveling in England or France is jostled and pushed to the wall, and left to take her own chance, precisely as if she were not a woman.
