The breach was widened by their unconcealed flirtations a description mentally applied to the most ordinary man-and-woman acquaintanceships on either side, but not inappropriate in all cases.
Every day she did her round of the lake, beginning acquaintanceships which ended elsewhere. Here was the happy hunting ground par excellence, where courtesans of the first water spread their nets in open daylight and flaunted themselves amid the tolerating smiles and brilliant luxury of Paris.
In 1886 a young woman was living in a modest house near a secluded New England village, with no company but a little boy about five years old. She did her own work, she discouraged acquaintanceships, and had none. The butcher, the baker, and the others that served her could tell the villagers nothing about her further than that her name was Stillman, and that she called the child Archy.
It was some more human nature; the admiring little folk imitating their elders; they were playing mob, and had achieved a success which promised to be a good deal more serious than they had bargained for. It was not a dull excursion for me. I managed to put in the time very well. I made various acquaintanceships, and in my quality of stranger was able to ask as many questions as I wanted to.

Looking back, this swirl of the social world, its functions, its movements, the acquaintanceships it brought me, seem to me all strangely unreal. I seem to be aware of a large, swarming vision, amid which I have lived. But nothing of it has ever in-mingled with my real sense of happiness or misery. Fortune, society these are not the essentials.

Your mother seems rather prone to make easy acquaintanceships eh? The Hardcastles were distinctly undesirable, were they not? and the Jameses also?" "Why, what do you know about them?" asked the girl, much surprised, as they were two families who had been discovered to be not what they represented. "Well," he laughed. "I happen to be aware of your mother's charm that's all."
