Rowe-Martin departed, much to Hetty's secret relief, but not before she had increased the girl's burthens by introducing her into a cold-nosed cosmopolitan set from which there were but three ways of escape. She refused to marry one of them, denied another the privilege of making love to her, and declined to play auction bridge with all of them.
"He looked indeed, a stockish, chill young man, of the cold-nosed type ah, que je n'aime pas ça! but he is a good young man; a most unimpeachable young man; and our little Karen has melted him; how much his letter shows." "Gregory Jardine is a very able and a very distinguished person," said Miss Scrotton, "and of an excellent county family.
And we're making senators and governors and state officers and indeed, I may say, prominent citizens out of them. Why not give Hally her show? You damn cold-nosed Yankee Brahmins you have Faith and you have Hope, but you have no more Charity than a sausage-grinder."
He knew better than Clark that chilling regard with which Toronto financiers contemplated an undertaking in which they had little faith. They were a cold-nosed group, immune, he considered, to the dramatic and strangers to any sudden impulse. And Clark, to their minds, was tarred with the same brush as his undertakings.

"Nor any of these cold-nosed cowards that turn their backs on you for fear your luck's going to change. Luck! the fools!" "They don't figure in the case at all, Miss Thayer."
It came out in this way: Time honoured custom in our town allows the children of a home where there is an outbreak of social revelry, whether a church festival or a meeting of the Cold-Nosed Whist Club, to line up with the neighbour children on the back stoop or in the kitchen, like human vultures, waiting to lick the ice-cream freezer and to devour the bits of cake and chicken salad that are left over.
