Alice Turner was engaged also, and certainly very much in love if she considered the young man a paragon. Cynthia compared them all with Cousin Chilian, and it wasn't a bit fair. She met Mr. Saltonstall at a small party, where they played games and had forfeits. It was odd, she thought, how the girls chose him in everything. She didn't choose him once. He spoke of it afterward.
Everett, usually so dignified, had joined in the game, claiming "forfeits" from Anna more frequently than was considered at all necessary by the captain, who for a time looked jealously on, and then declaring himself as young as any of them, joined them with a right good will. "Blind man's buff," was next proposed, and 'Lena's heart leaped up, for that was her favorite game.
All broken shuttles, brushes, oil-cans, wheels, window panes, etc., must be paid for by the weaver. 5. No weaver to stop work without giving a week's notice. The manufacturer may dismiss any employee without notice for bad work or improper behaviour. 6. Every one who remains absent until breakfast forfeits a shilling on Monday, and sixpence every other day of the week, etc, etc.
We thought we knew the right man, but were not sure, and could not imagine what might happen if stealing grub should begin and continue. It is a sort of unwritten law that in parties such as ours, he who steals provisions forfeits his life. We knew we must keep watch and if the offense was repeated the guilty one might be compelled to suffer.
The First Consul acquitted himself with a good grace of the role given him; and after the forfeits had been redeemed, made a sign to General Bertrand to follow him, and they went out. The joiner who lived on the ground floor soon came up to bring a little note to Madame F . This was the note: I thank you, Madame, for the kind welcome you have given me.
That's the style over there at The Lookout. There ain't ez much heart in them two women put together ez would make a green gal flush up playin' forfeits. It's all in their breed, Pop. Love ain't going to spile their appetites and complexions, give 'em nose-bleed, nor put a drop o' water into their eyes in all their natural born days. That's wot makes me mad.
The terms are lax, and the expences light. Mr. Barry was adopted by Dr. Brocklesby, who joined with me in forming the plan. We meet thrice a week, and he who misses forfeits two-pence . 'If you are willing to become a member, draw a line under your name. Return the list. We meet for the first time on Monday at eight. 'I am, &c. 'Dec. 4, 1783. It did not suit Sir Joshua to be one of this Club.
They thought his sentimentalism would soon be wearisome to Stella. And they were not far wrong about her. On one occasion at a party given by several high school girls, a "country post office" was organized. That was one of those games which mean kissing only. A system of guessing results in a series of forfeits. If you miss you must be postmaster, and call someone for "mail."
"Your bets?" she asked, with a look. "My renunciations, forfeits, whatever you choose to call them. I have been fairly and squarely beaten but by nature, not by art. That is my consolation." Laughter struck into her eyes like a shaft of sunlight into a well; her emotions were no longer to be distinguished.
Some one suggested a game of forfeits, and a pile of them was soon collected, to be held over the head of Jessie who was chosen judge, as being the youngest girl present. Her ingenuity was endless, and she kept them laughing over her ridiculous fines, until nearly all had been redeemed. "Only two or three more," said Jean encouragingly. "Here's one of them, now." "Fine or superfine?" "Fine."
