Marshall was the man that preached, but never anybody was so defeated. He is so famed that I expected rare things of him, and seriously I listened to him as if he had been St. Paul; and what do you think he told us? Why, that if there were no kings, no queens, no lords, no ladies, nor gentlemen, nor gentlewomen, in the world, 'twould be no loss to God Almighty at all.
She tore the list of London friends; appealed to Tim and Missus. Tim was helpful. He had taken fares to an Agency in Norfolk Street an Agency for "Disturbed Gentlewomen," he called it; there took her one morning. "Distressed Gentlewomen," she found the brass plate to read "The Norfolk Street Agency for Distressed Gentlewomen."
This conduct had not the effect of appeasing those who profited by its generosity; for the gentlewomen were greeted with most foul abuse, and many unworthy charges were laid to their account in language more vigorous than polished. And having at last arrived in safety at Whitehall, they resolved never to sally forth in search of adventure again.
We proceeded to the door and dismounted, following the example of our host, and proceeded to help the gentlewomen to alight from the volante.
I like to think of her there, in the old garden, under the arcade, among those tranquil virtuous women. Many of them are gentlewomen born; several of them are noble. She will have her books and her drawing, she will have her piano. I've made the most liberal arrangements. There is to be nothing ascetic; there's just to be a certain little sense of sequestration.
Ophthalmic and consumptive hospitals, and hospitals for the incurable; ragged schools; penitentiaries; homes for destitute infants; associations of gentlewomen for charitable and religious purposes; theological, training, and missionary colleges; houses for temporary religious retirement and retreat such were some of the designs which, had he lived a few years longer, he would certainly have attempted to carry into execution.
Then, on the day when, with much weeping and many sad farewells, La Belle Isoude with her gentlewomen and many noble ladies and knights were to go into the ship, the queen called Bragwine aside, and giving her a little golden flasket, said to her: 'Take this with thee, Bragwine, for I misdoubt this marriage overmuch, and I charge thee do this.
Here there are long lines of stalls behind which stand the gentlewomen eagerly offering their wares. Alas! here is Art in every shape, but it is not the art which we can buy. Here are painting and drawing; here are coloured photographs, painted china, art embroideries, and fine work. Here are offered original songs and original music.
They are generally fair, particularly the women, who all even to the peasant women protect their complexions from the sun with fans and veils, as only the stately gentlewomen do in Germany and the Netherlands.
This is all very well so long as fortune favors those who are chosen to be the ornamental personages; but if the golden tide recedes and leaves them stranded, they are more to be pitied than almost any other class. "I cannot dig, to beg I am ashamed." I think it is unpopular in this country to talk much about gentlemen and gentlewomen.
