"I haven't seen another soul except a pathetic little woman who came up to the hotel yesterday afternoon to sell the most exquisite things you ever saw.

I suppose I'm a fool to talk like this; but a girl must do it some time or burst! and to whom am I to go? . . .

She was sure that all the men on the street, even Guy Pollock and Sam Clark, leered at her in an interested hopeful way, as though she were a notorious divorcee. She felt as insecure as a shadowed criminal. She wished to see Erik, and wished that she had never seen him.
Claire The Young Divorcée And so you have joined the increasing army of the divorcées. It is worse than useless to discuss again the causes which led to this situation, and now that the law of the land has made you a free woman, the one thing for you to consider is your future, and to formulate to some degree a code of conduct for your guidance.
Every one seems calm. It is all most unexpected and strange to me." "I don't see it that way at all," said the Journalist. "I feel as if I were sitting on a volcano, knowing it was going to erupt, but not knowing at what moment." "That I understand," said the Divorcée, "but that is not exactly what I mean.
To some younger sons of the Nut description who are ready to pay anything to be seen with a popular actress, and to the kind of fools who are always ready to offer marriage to a divorcee, or to a husband murderer when she comes out of prison.

You shall crawl through life a divorcee, made an honest woman through the generosity of an American adventurer! 67, Mayfair, I said." Phipps shook his head sorrowfully.
