Never an earlier twelvemonth had the women of New Orleans nor of any town or time the gentlewomen spent in more unselfish or arduous toil. Flora was getting her share. This, he said, was a women's a gentlewomen's war. "Ah!" A stir of assent ran through all the gathering. The long married, the newly wed, the affianced, the suspected, the débutantes, the post-marriageable, every one approved.
Her mother stood, with suppressed breathing, her head pressed against the wall, her hair somewhat disarranged. A smile of absolute bliss played on her red lips. The nurse, Fedosya, a good-natured and fine-looking, if somewhat stupid woman, smiled as she looked at her mistress with her characteristic expression, which seemed to say that it was not for her to object to gentlewomen's caprices.

"Poor young man, it is hard to be so beset with spies and watchers," said Aurelia. "Most true," said Harriet, "but I am monstrous glad you are safe married like me, child, so that no one can accuse us.
