The mental powers!" She laughed. "There rolls another avalanche!" they said in the valley. In Montreux, one of the adjoining towns, which with Clarens, Vernex and Crin forms a garland around the northeast part of the lake of Geneva, dwelt Babette's god-mother, a distinguished English lady, with her daughters and a young relation.
Matthew’s. I was its god-mother, as they seemed to have very few friends in the town. Mr. Gilmore was out a good deal looking for employment. He used to write of an evening, and I think made money by it. He was very fond of his violin. Sometimes it was soft music he played, but if he was in a bad temper he would make it shriek and cry out, and I used to think there was a devil shut up in it.
She welcomed Sarah Emily rapturously, listened with wonder and awe to the news that the fairy god-mother was no dream after all, but was really and truly coming to see her, and finally went shrieking out to join in the game of ball, on Charles Stuart's side, too, all forgetful that not ten minutes before she had vowed against him an undying enmity.
I asked whether Irene intended to be my god-mother, as she had threatened. "Not so," replied Martina. "On that point she has changed her mind." "So much the better," I said. "But why?" "There is a canon of the Church, Olaf, which forbids intermarriage between a god-parent and his or her god-child," she replied dryly.

And so, what think you, god-mother mine; do you feel inclined to be a guest of the absent lord and master?" "It is for you to decide, ma chere."
She had no less personages than the king and queen for her god-father and god-mother, and she grew up within sound of the festivities of the Trianon, in an atmosphere of frivolity and exaggerated refinements.
"I went to see my god-mother, and she took me for a ride in a golden coach drawn by six fleas, and the fleas were as big as horses, and they went so fast we were back again a day before we started." "That's a good story," said Boots, "but here's a better.
Pierre Grignon and his wife were god-father and god-mother to most of the children born at La Baye. If a child was left without father and mother, Pierre Grignon's house became its asylum until a home could be found for it.
"Didn't you tell him that my god-mother was ill and could see no one?" "Yes, I did. But he said he must see her on very important and urgent business; so I gave him the key and let him go up alone, having no desire to be abused by your godmother."
