"Do you mean to say," ejaculated the Violinist, who admired her tremendously, "that she made that up in the imagination she carries around under that pretty fluffy hair? I'd rather that it were true that she had picked it up somewhere." As we began to prepare to go in, the Doctor looked down the path to where the Divorcée was still standing.
Such a one is sometimes, though seldom, met in real life. But many pretenders may be encountered at Monte Carlo and other European resorts. They range from the Parisian cocotte, signalized by her chic apparel, to the fashionable divorcee who in trying her luck at the tables keeps a sharp lookout for the elderly gent with the wad, often fooled by the enterprising sport who has been there before.
He took her there as if she belonged there and she felt that she did, though she protested, feebly: "You are not unmarried yet." They were in that No-Man's-Land. She was neither maid, wife, nor widow, but divorcee. He was neither bachelor, husband, nor widower; he was not even a divorce. He was a Nisi Prius.
Unfortunately, she did not say who or where the mysterious husband is." "Pooh!" scoffed Penny. "Don't you see? She just said that to satisfy Johnny's curiosity. After all, it was the most plausible explanation of how a divorcee got hold of a lot of money." "So plausible that Drake may have thought of it himself," Dundee reflected silently.
Painting up large notices of 'Watch Us Grow, making money by farming with machinery, together with an occasional hold-up with six-shooters and photographs of a beautiful murderess or divorcée, fill up the round of their good and happy lives, and fleet the time carelessly as in the golden age.
"It's the pleasantest way to address you until I know your name." "You might call me madame!" "Perish the thought! I refuse to imagine you married." "I might be a widow." "No." "Or even a divorcée." "And you might be a grandmother," he added. "Yes." "And doing the Maxixe at the Willard, this minute." "Yes!" she laughed. "But you aren't; and no more are you a widow or a divorcée."

Because she must fly and hide to save her life, society had no more hold upon her, she need no longer fight to keep up appearances in spite of her status as a woman living apart from her husband, little better than a divorcée an estate anathema to the English of those days.
She wore a severe high-collared blouse with a row of small black buttons, which was becoming to her low-breasted slim neatness, but her skirt was hysterically checkered, her cheeks were too highly rouged, her lips too sharply penciled. She was magnificently a specimen of the illiterate divorcee of forty made up to look thirty, clever, and alluring.
