It's the old Knickerbocker neighborhood, you know. Not much of the old Knickerbocker atmosphere left. It's my first experience as a 'boarder' in New York. I think, on the whole, I prefer to be a 'roomer' and 'eat out. I have been a 'paying guest' in London, but fared better there as a mere 'lodger." "You're not English, are you?" "No. Good American, but of a roving habit.
Whatever attention he gives you will be purely because he is a gentleman and he can't ignore his host's daughter nonsense, his landlady I might as well face it. He's a boarder and I'm his landlady. Gentlemen don't take much interest in landladies. So now, Georgiana Warne, landlady keeper of a boarding-house, be sensible and go to sleep."
The priest of the parish had no house of his own; he was a boarder with one of his flock, who had built himself a house in the time of the good earl. When Lord Leitrim fancied that he had cause of quarrel with the priest he obliged his tenant to put him out, on pain of losing the house which he had built.
My remarks might be repeated, and it would give my friends pain to see with what personal incivilities I should be visited. Besides, what business has a mere boarder to be talking about such things at a breakfast- table? Let him make puns. To be sure, he was brought up among the Christian fathers, and learned his alphabet out of a quarto "Concilium Tridentinum."
He didn't wear a sign of one until this mornin'. If he needed it to see with he'd have worn it before, wouldn't he? Don't tell me! He wears it because he wants people to think he's a regular boarder at Windsor Castle. And he isn't; he comes from Toronto, and that's only a few miles from the United States. Ugh!
"No, I shouldn't," said Lydia, honestly. "It's very hard work." "And I don't look fond of hard work?" "I didn't say that." "And I've no right to press you for your meaning." "What I meant was I mean Perhaps if you had never tried it you didn't know what very hard work it was. Some of the summer boarders used to think our farmers had easy times." "I never was a summer boarder of that description.
Let me send him to the Melbourne Grammar after Christmas, and as a boarder, if you don't mind. There are such advantages, both in position and for study, in living at the school." "I leave everything everything, in your hands," murmured the grateful father. "By the way" as an after-thought "what about your little girl?"
He left your soul out and you're not to blame for that. I don't blame you, Thomas Jefferson, and of course the Lord don't. But Mrs. Avery's boarder oh, oh, dear, I'm afraid Mrs. Avery's boarder will! You mustn't tell I mean I mustn't. Nobody must know what it was that glittered in the grass. Do you want to be searched?
The new boarder, also, with that quick apprehension he had of every subject, had caught enough to become interested in the patient up-stairs, and daily made some inquiries concerning her condition, and, as it appeared to me grown a little morbid, like Miss Jorgensen was peculiarly adroit in extracting information.
So we are to have a new boarder to-morrow. I hope there will be something pretty and pleasant about her. A woman with a creamy voice, and finished in alto rilievo, would be a variety in the boarding-house, a little more marrow and a little less sinew than our landlady and her daughter and the bombazine-clad female, all of whom are of the turkey-drumstick style of organization.
