"Where I come from," she said, "chaperons are not in style." "And we'll go some place after the play....I want to make the most of my opportunity, because I've got to work all day to-morrow. It's a shame, too, because I have a feeling that I'd like to monopolize you." "Aren't you going a bit fast for a comparative stranger?" she asked, merrily. He pretended to look crestfallen.
The general effect of this fair chamber was heightened, too, by that regulation of the house which did not permit any benches in the ball-room. That dignified assemblage who are always found ranged in precise discipline against the wall, did not here mar the flowing grace of the festivity. The chaperons had no cause to complain.
They arranged that our chairs should be against the wall, and not in the row that the chaperons were behind. Godmamma tried to make signs to me to come and sit by Victorine in front of her, but I pretended not to see, until all the chairs were filled up. The Marquise de Vermandoise was next me, with the Vicomte between; she was dancing with the Comte. We were gay!
While the boys stood in the darkness, waiting and listening, they heard a voice which they had no difficulty in recognizing as that of Tommy. "This is some basement stairway," the boy said. The next moment George's voice was heard. "We must be about nine stories under ground by this time," he said. There was silence for a moment and then Tommy was heard to ask: "What's become of our chaperons?"
General, who taught her young ladies to form their mouths into a lady-like pattern by saying "papa, potatoes, prunes, and prism." Dickens knew very little of society, and cared very little for its laws, and his ladies and gentlemen were pronounced in England to be as great failures as his Little Nells and Dick Swivellers were successes; but he recognized the universality of chaperons.
Jeff had some distinction among the fellows who enviously knew of his social success during the winter, and especially of his affair with Bessie Lynde; and there were some girls very pretty and very well dressed among the crowd of girls who were neither. They were from remote parts of the country, and in the charge of chaperons ignorant of the differences so poignant to local society.
Walter knew that if he wished to be mentioned all over town as a Sure- Enough, his passport to the Inner Circle of Hot Potatoes would have to be vised by Patroness No. 1. He began to work in the Secret Service of the Chosen Few and was First Aid to the Chaperons. A Hard Life, say you? Not a tall not a tall. He was entirely surrounded by Fairy Lamps and sweet-smelling Flowers.
You don't know what you owe to those anxious parents. It helps you enormously, being the objects of perpetual warnings from husbands and chaperons, the first considering you mauvais sujets, the last mauvais partis; for you are 'detrimentals, for the most part, you will own." "Vetitum ergo cupitum," interrupted Livingstone.
My chaperonage is always at your service, and any girl of your age in America would be delighted to avail herself of it." "It is very kind of you, aunt," Pamela replied, "but in a general way I finished with chaperons long ago." "Where is Jimmy?" Mrs. Hastings inquired. "He was coming with us to-night," Pamela explained, "but I asked him particularly to stay away. I have seen so little of Mr.
"Of course, honey. He's a boy, you know." "Laugh away! I'm too happy to care. I do like boys best. Why shouldn't I? They're heaps more fun than girls except you. And to think! Helena and Jim were the real chaperons of our trip, though Helena's governess, Miss Milliken, was called such. But she's a stick! I had the time of my life, keeping her scared all the way on. Oh!
