There is no such class in America, but there is almost always a lady who will gladly perform the task of chaperoning motherless girls without remuneration. It is not considered proper in England for a widowed father to place an unmarried daughter at the head of his house without the companionship of a resident chaperon, and there are grave objections to its being done here.
Cooke was out on the golf links, chaperoning some of the Asquith young women whose mothers had not seen fit to ostracize Mohair. Mr. Cooke's ten friends were with them. But this discreet and dignified servant could not reveal the whereabouts of Miss Thorn and of Mr. Allen, both of whom I was decidedly anxious to avoid.
Sir Guy is chaperoning a strange-looking party of men and women, who have been very noisy since luncheon-time. Captain Lovell hopes "I admire his mare she has a look of Brilliant from here, Miss Coventry. 'Baby Larkins' of the Lancers is to ride; and The Baby will do her justice if any one can. He's far the best of the young ones now."
Each of you is to have two and Jessica has one besides Mabel. I am to have three; I found another yesterday. David promised to get me the tickets. I wonder how he and Hippy will enjoy chaperoning thirteen girls?" "I won't have the slightest chance to talk to Hippy," grumbled Nora, "and he has neglected us shamefully of late, too."
Burton at once demanded, feeling suddenly disturbed by Miss Patricia's severe expression. "Surely nothing has happened to any one of the Camp Fire girls! I think I have noticed nearly all of them strolling about on deck in the past half hour." Gloomily Miss Patricia frowned. "I am not here to discuss with you the girls whom you are suppose to be chaperoning.
"And she wishes to see you," he continued. "Lady Chelsford is chaperoning her to-night to Suffolk House, but she says that she should have come here in any case. She believes that you are going to China." "Did you tell her?" I asked. "I have told her nothing," he answered. "The question is, what you are to tell her. I understand, Ducaine, that Lady Angela was engaged to be married to Colonel Ray."
Her two brothers had borrowed their employer's coal barge to-day, and with a score of cherished associates, several hundred sandwiches, sardines, camp-chairs, and bottles of root beer, with a smaller number of chaperoning mothers and concertinas, and the inevitable baby or two, were making a day of it on the river.
A programme simple in theme but susceptible to variations. The latter began early. After posing kiddishly as a rough, woolly, romantic cowboy before the passengers of the Overland, I found myself chaperoning a visitor to our midst. By sheer accident the visitor had singled me out for an inquiry. "Can you tell me how to get to Hooper's ranch?" he asked.
"I met them all when they were here, before they started," he resumed, reminiscently. "It was certainly a picturesque outfit three college chums one of them on his honeymoon, and the couple chaperoning the bride's sister. There was one of the college boys a fellow named Gage who fairly made news."
Nor had Lady Arabella sought to dissuade her. Although she and Magda were the best of friends, she had latterly found the onus of chaperoning her god-child an increasingly heavy burden. As she herself remarked: "You might as well attempt to chaperon a comet!"
