The barmaids looked at me 'with wonder and amazement. 'Is the coach gone? I gasped out. 'The coach? Yes! 'Oh! and you have let it away without me! Oh! stop it, cannot you stop it? and out I rushed into the street, with streaming hair and streaming towel, and almost brained myself against the Mail! which was standing there in all stillness, without so much as a horse in it!
'Masher. One authority derives the title, rather ingeniously, from 'Ma Chere, the mode of address used by the gilded youth to the barmaids of the period whence the corruption, 'Masher. Another traces it to the chorus of a song, which, at that time, had a great vogue in the music-halls: 'I'm the slashing, dashing, mashing Montmorency of the day. This, in my opinion, is the safer suggestion, and may be adopted.
There were men shouting, women chattering, tired children whining, and excited children laughing; babies yelling or crowing miscellaneously; parrots screaming; people running up and down stairs in search of dormitories; plates and cups clattering at the bar, as the overwhelmed barmaids did their best to appease the impatient and supply the hungry; while the rumbling of control-wagons bringing up the baggage formed a sort of bass accompaniment to the concert.
Everything about her had been a revelation to him. The women whom he had come across in his battle upwards, barmaids and their fellows, fifth-rate actresses, occasionally the suburban wife of a prosperous City man, had impressed him only with a sort of coarse contempt.
While we thus lightly dismiss sensual love as unpoetical, we must remember that Burns, in some of his accounts of inspiration, ascribes quite as powerful and as unidealistic an effect to the kisses of the barmaids, as to the liquor they dispense. But this is mere bravado, as much of his other verse shows. Byron's case, also, is a doubtful one.
'Would it not be equally just to say women are more alike in love than in anything else? Mind, I do not say alike, but more alike. Is it not the passion which levels us all? 'Oh, mother, mother! did one ever hear such dreadful blasphemy? That the loves, for example, of two such cultivated, exquisite creatures as Clara and myself would be nothing different from those of the barmaids next door?
You settle down, and you'll see how insipid it is: then you'll be making some quaint efforts at shrewdness and finesse yourself. Invite me then, and I'll get even with you, old man. But I say, what did you mean about my being a cub at college?" "Well, you were, you know. Barmaids and ballet-dancers, and that sort of thing." "Confound you, Hartman, what do you go bringing them up for?
To these the genius of Barnum added baby shows; and, if we are not misinformed, a foreign firm, whose names have become household words amongst us, originated, though not exactly in its present form, the last kind of show which has been acclimatized in England an exhibition of barmaids. We had two baby shows in one year one at Highbury Barn by Mr.
But there were other letters from barmaids and women who were not fit to be seen in the same street with the Boss's wife; and there were portraits one or two flash ones. There were two letters from other men's wives too. 'And one of those men, at least, was an old mate of his! said Andy, in a tone of disgust.
Westerfield's family dare to suppose that a barmaid may not be a perfectly virtuous woman?" "Pardon me for putting myself forward," he said, with his customary politeness. "Speaking as an abstainer from fermented liquors, I must really protest against these allusions to barmaids."
