It has been hinted that there was a reason for the scarceness of the plums in the plum-cake. Madam Liberality's father was dead, and her mother was very poor, and had several children. It was not an easy matter with her to find bread for the family, putting currants and raisins out of the question. Though poor, they were, however, gentle-folk, and had, for that matter, rich relations.
I have seen too much of the cares of state the awful tragedy the bitter grief. Long since I decided that I would have no more of it. Better a dinner of herbs, where love is, you know. And so Peter and I came here to this quiet spot the old home of my mother and took her name. And here we thought to live like simple gentle-folk, till Boris broke rudely into our Arcadia.
"I think we will have met but the once, and will can part like gentle-folk." "O, let me have one to believe in me!" I pleaded, "I cannae bear it else. The whole world is clanned against me. How am I to go through with my dreadful fate? If there's to be none to believe in me I cannot do it. The man must just die, for I cannot do it."
I distinctly recall his remark about one of his friends, whom he greatly admired, to this effect: that he always got drunk like a gentleman. Therefore we should do everything as gentle-folk should do things, and when we make love we should make love like gentlefolk, and not like hod-carriers or cavemen." "Yes," said the young man; "I'll try to remember."
When gentle-folk meet, courtesies pass; and I will not weary other people with relating all the compliments and counter-compliments that we exchanged, all in the most approved manner. Occasions like this, when tongues wagged smoothly and speech flowed free, were always especially pleasing to me, who am naturally inclined to be tongue-tied with women.
Bill once said of him, "One of hell's gentle-folk." A better description of him could not have been found. Under a well-nigh perfect exterior he concealed a depth of infamy beyond description. A confidential police report to the authorities in the East once contained this paragraph: "Pap Shaunbaum has set up a big hotel in Leaping Horse.
I have thousands of letters on the subject, and as the society of the South is, as a matter of fact, a society of gentle-folk for the most part lineally descended from the nobility of older countries I think it proper and right that lineage should have certain acknowledged advantages in the new commonwealth.
The anchor was hoisted, the great engine lifted itself to its mighty task, and the voyage was begun. They had gone down a mile, perhaps, when Mr. Belcher came out of his state-room. Supper was not ready would not be ready for an hour. He took a hurried survey of the passengers, none of whom he knew. They were evidently gentle-folk, mostly from inland cities, who were going to Europe for pleasure.
