If you could see my poor inkstained, weeping face, you would realize that I am only your funny little Eleanor after all, and not to be taken seriously at all. I hope you will come up for my graduation. When you see me with all the other lumps and frumps that are here, you will know that I am not worth considering except as a kind of human joke. "Good-by, dear, my dear, and God bless you.
He always has some frump to pour tea and ask fool questions." "The frump, as you call her, is usually a countess or a duchess," with asperity. "Fiddlesticks! Nobility makes a specialty of frumps; it is one of the species of the caste. That's why I shall never marry a title. I wish neither to visit nor to entertain frumps. Frump, the word calls up the exact picture; frump and fatuity.
"You go to bed, Lin," she continued; "and thank you for taking care of mama. I hope to goodness you'll learn from all this pick out what you want and make for it. Don't bother with the antique frumps, the disappointed old tabbies. Have your fun. There's nothing else. If you like a man, be on the level with him give and take. Men are not saints and we're better for it; we don't live in a heaven.
Miss Heredith did not think her good enough for Phil she was sure she thought that. They had the vicar and old frumps in to tea, and she had to listen to their piffle. They all went to bed soon after ten just when people were beginning to wake up in London and go out for the night. And she had to go to church on Sunday because it was expected of her, did he ever hear of such rot and so on.
With his first sign of genuine amusement the Younger Man tipped back his head and laughed right up into the green-lined roof of the piazza. "Now just whom would you specially recommend for me?" he demanded mirthfully. "Among all the feminine galaxy of bores and frumps that seem to be congregated at this particular hotel just whom would you specially recommend for me?
Do not marry then, quoth Pantagruel. For being free from debt, and yet not married, if casually I should fret and be angry, although the cause of my grief and displeasure were never so just, I am afraid, instead of consolation, that I should meet with nothing else but scoffs, frumps, gibes, and mocks at my disastrous fortune. Marry then, in the name of God, quoth Pantagruel.
Marry somebody who likes all the things you don't, and make love to somebody who likes all the things you do." Undine laughed appreciatively. "Only it dooms poor Ralph to such awful frumps. Can't you see the sort of woman who'd love his sort of play?"
She seated herself by the table, and helped herself to a buttered scone. "What did you do on Christmas Day?" "The Willoughbys asked me. I went to church with them, and stayed until eleven." "Anything going on, or just the ordinary family frumps?" Claire laughed. "Nobody but relations and my fascinating self; but you needn't be so blighting. I enjoyed every moment, and they were angelically kind.
She looked clean and slight and attractive, and conspicuously well-bred. Her abundant hair showed to advantage under her blue hat, while her teeth and her eyes seemed to Freddy remarkably beautiful. A V.A.D. uniform is not becoming, but if a girl is striking-looking, it accentuates her good points; frumps and mediocrities it extinguishes altogether. "Come and have some tea," Freddy said.
"I don't care what Britt said. You found the mother sweet, and you admit the girl is charming. I'll trust your instinct in such matters, Mort; you've never been one to run after frumps and minxes. She had good eyes?" "Beautiful eyes, steady, blue-gray, wistful. She quite enchanted me at first " "And you're sentimental over her still?" "I didn't say that I was sentimental over her at any time."
