It was during this tour that a question of etiquette occurred about which there was a great stir at the time. John Hancock, then Governor of Massachusetts, did not call upon Washington but wrote inviting Washington to stay at his house, and when this invitation was declined, he wrote again inviting the President to dinner en famille.
So at last you abandon the efforts to obtain decent simple food, in club or hotel, and dine with your friend en famille. The same thing confronts you. The joint has been baked in an oven, of which it smells, and is surrounded by a sickly gravy, produced by pouring hot water over it!
"I understand you better, now that I have seen you en famille." "What do you think now?" "I don't think I know; the Puritans have much to answer for in your mother " Turning to her she said, "My children, too, are so different." Mother gave her a sad smile, as Fanny announced the carriage, and they drove away. "No more visitors this year," said Veronica, yawning.
But those who most detest the whining style of this species of composition are compelled to acknowledge that MOLE was fascinating in the part of St. Albin, in DIDEROT'S Pere de Famille.
By a lucky chance it happens that Viscount Hayashi the Japanese Minister to Great Britain, you know with whom I have been brought into very close touch of late, is dining here, en famille, to-morrow night, in order to have the opportunity to discuss certain rather delicate matters in private with me; and when we have finished talking business together which will probably not occupy us more than an hour I will put your case to him, giving him all the details of it for we must be perfectly honest with him, you know and ask him whether, under the circumstances, there is any likelihood of your being able to obtain employment in the Japanese Navy.
Whatever, to her imagination, marriage may fail to mean, it at least means freedom and consideration. It does not mean, as it so often means in America, being socially shelved and it is not too much to say, in certain circles, degraded; it means being socially launched and consecrated. It means becoming that exalted personage, a mère de famille.
"Not yet; I will advise your grace of my marriage," answered the count, gravely. "Something gone wrong in that direction," thought the duke, but his good humor was invincible. "If you have no engagement for to-morrow evening, I hope you will come and dine with us en famille, for we do not see much company, the duchess and myself."
You, I hope, will do me the justice to allow that I do not belong to the number of those peres de famille who are mad for position; but you yourself told me that Elena Nikolaevna likes practical business men; Yegor Andreyevitch is in the first place a business man; now on the other side, my daughter has a weakness for generous actions; so let me tell you that Yegor Andreyevitch, directly he had attained the possibility you understand me the possibility of living without privation on his salary, at once gave up the yearly income assigned him by his father, for the benefit of his brothers.
The Teng'gerese who people this mountainous region are a race apart. Their religion is a mixture of paganism and Buddhism, and, though reputed to be kind and honest, they are an ignorant, uncouth, uncultured people. They dwell en famille in large square houses without windows, in isolated kampongs on the projecting ridges of the mountains.
After glancing at it, I informed her that it was apparently a signal for my departure; my brother had arrived in England, and proposed to me to meet him there; he had come on business, and was to spend but three weeks in Europe. "But my house empties itself!" cried the old woman. "The famille Ruck talks of leaving me, and Madame Church nous fait la reverence." "Mrs. Church is going away?"
