"It is quite profitable, chaperoning young ladies, you will find;" he said, dryly. "But, Medoline does not wish to keep hers. She acted quite strangely about it; and insists that I must ask you, if she shall keep it." "Mr. Bovyer would feel aggrieved if we returned his present. I think you must keep it," he said, turning to me.
And Miss Anne was hungry, which was a great matter. Lady Beresford looked at Nan, but that young lady was unconscious. The end of it was that these three very speedily found themselves below, in the supper-room, where as yet there were only a number of elderly people who had grown tired of the duties of chaperoning.
Feeling as one does who is overtaken by a shower when the sun is shining, I made effort to draw away, but my head was again pressed on her broad bosom, and with fresh tears I was thanked for my kindness in chaperoning her daughter on her matrimonial adventure; an adventure which would have subjected her to much criticism had I not been along. Also Mr. Thorne.
"Aunt Milly, this is Judge Stott, a very old friend of father's. Mrs. Blake, my mother's sister. Mother will be surprised to see her. They haven't met for ten years." "This visit is going to be only a brief one," said Mrs. Blake. "I really came over to chaperone Shirley more than anything else."

Wan and wasted as a spectre, she indulged in anticipation of again mixing with the fashionable world, and talked of chaperoning Isabel to private parties and public amusements, when she was standing at the brink of eternity.
"Why, we're all out in the foyer Mother's here, chaperoning away like mad, and nearly all the others! And" she whisked a little gold watch into sight "my dears, it's twenty minutes to four!" Every one exclaimed, as they rushed out. Julia, unaccountably nervous, wished she were well out of this affair, and wondered what she ought to do.
