If you asked 'Who was John Thomas? nine would say he was a flunky commemorated by Thackeray." E. E. HALE, "Memorial History of Boston," iii, 100. Frothingham's "Siege," 110. Adams Letters, p. 64.
"Her mourning is rather absurd under the circumstances," Rachael said vaguely, antagonized against anyone he chose to defend. "And if people choose to treat her as if she were Mrs. Frothingham's daughter instead of what she really is, it's nice for Magsie! But I don't see why we should." "We might because she is such a nice, simple girl," Warren suggested, "and because we like her!

A man such as Bennet Frothingham must become familiar with many forms of 'craziness', must himself be responsible for a good deal of folly such as leads to downright aberration. Recalling Mrs. Frothingham's innocent curiosity concerning his own life, Harvey wished, in turn, that it were possible for him to watch and comprehend the business of a great finance-gambler through one whole day.
I have always said that the electric chair is a way to be barbarous and good form at the same time, and that is what I think about Yaque!" Mr. Frothingham's hands worked forward convulsively on his blue velvet knees.

As a matter of courtesy, he thought it well to move in Miss Frothingham's direction.
Apostleman cackled delightedly; no one else stirred. "'She got very little of Frothingham's money," Barry presently read on, "it came to him from his first wife, who was a widow with two daughters when he married her. The money naturally reverted to her girls, Mrs. Fred Senior and Mrs. Spencer Mack, both of this city." "Ha! D'ye get that?" said Mrs. Apostleman. "Go on!"
With a wave of her hand, Alma passed into the sitting-room, where she stood at the window, watching till Mrs. Frothingham's sunshade had disappeared. Then she moved about, like one in search of occupation; taking up a book only to throw it down again, gazing vacantly at a picture, or giving a touch to a bowl of flowers.
It was not the first time that this man had confided his doubts and timidities to Harvey Rolfe; he had a small, but to him important, interest in Bennet Frothingham's wide-reaching affairs, and seemed to spend most of his time in eliciting opinion on the financier's stability.
