Janet was a prim emaciated creature, very straight and dignified, whose glance always seemed to hesitate between benevolence and fastidiousness. Janet and Charles had consented to forget the episode of the Divorce Court. Marion, however, the eldest Orgreave sister, mother of a family of daughters, had never received the divorcee.
Our reunion, after so many years, was a rather pretty story. In the summer of 1913, the Doctor and the Divorcée, who had lost sight of one another for twenty years, met by chance in Paris. Her ex-husband had been a college friend of the Doctor. They saw a great deal of one another in the lazy way that people who really love France, and are done sightseeing, can do.
I hastily refresh my recollection as to all the Joneses of my acquaintance, whether in coal, oil or otherwise; but no likely candidate for the distinction of being the husband of my future dinner companion comes to my mind. Yet there is undoubtedly a Jones. But, no! The lady may be a divorcée or a widow. I recall no Mrs.
One lady was the officer's wife, another the wife of the landowner, the third his sister a young girl and the fourth a divorcee, beautiful, rich, and eccentric, who amazed and shocked the town by her escapades. The weather was excellent and the snow-covered road smooth as a floor.
The fair and welcome invader from the land of the free and the home of the brave can, and does, "arrive" astonishingly well without masculine assistance and encouragement. She may appear as maid, wife or widow; sometimes as divorcee; but, personally, she conducts her own campaign.
After all the French have a better phrase for it 'La Crise de quarante ans." The Nurse and Divorcée had been very quiet, but here they locked hands, and the former remarked that they prepared to withdraw: "That is our cue to disappear and you, too, Youngster. These men are far too wise."
They drove some seven miles out of town, and then stopped and consulted as to whether they should turn back or drive farther. 'But where does this road lead to? asked Makovkina, the beautiful divorcee. 'To Tambov, eight miles from here, replied one of the lawyers, who was having a flirtation with her. 'And then where? 'Then on to L , past the Monastery. 'Where that Father Sergius lives?
As he came to the head of the table, he said: "My good people, we will serve ourselves as best we can with the cook's aid. We have no waitress to-night. But it is our last dinner. A camp under marching orders cannot fuss over trifles." "Where is Angéle?" asked the Divorcée. "Is she ill?" And she turned to the door. "Come back!" said the Doctor, sharply. "You can't help her now.
Then, one Monday morning, the papers were filled with horror over an unusually terrible automobile accident; in which a party of seven, of whom the young divorcee was one and Stuyvesant Carter was another, went over an embankment sixty feet in height, the car landing upside down on the rocks below, and killing every member of the party. The paper also stated that Mr.
It was more likely however that the doctor had married some obscure person with nothing in her favor but youth, or a widow of practiced wiles, or horrid thought a divorcee. He had always been absurdly liberal in spite of his blue Southern blood; and a man's man wandering alone at the age of forty was almost foredoomed to disaster. No doubt the poor man had been homesick and lonesome.
