"So it seems," Miss Metford remarked so significantly that I really could not help retorting with as much emphasis, compatible with politeness, as I could command: "You see I am therefore unable to appreciate the New Woman, of whom I have heard so much since I came home." "The conventional New Woman is a grandmotherly old fossil," Miss Metford said quietly. This disposed of me.
In story after story Miss Gale varied the same device: that of showing how childlike children are, how sisterly are sisters, how brotherly are brothers, how motherly are mothers, how fatherly are fathers, how grandmotherly and grandfatherly are grandmothers and grandfathers, and how loverly are all true lovers of whatever age, sex, color, or condition.
Well, I don't know quite why I'm keeping you here though there was something I wanted to say to you, I believe in a most serious and grandmotherly manner too the way of a grown woman as Sargent would put it poor Sargent " She laughed. "Oh yes, I remember now. It was only that I don't think you need worry about Mr. Billett any more. You see?" "I think so," said Oliver with some incomprehension.

And then I want to go somewhere and dance! Get that, dear? Dance! Tell me, T. A. tell me the truth: Do you think I'm old, and faded, and wistful and grandmotherly?"
"The year's too young. And at my age one feels very often as if the advantage of youth were an unfair advantage." "Dare I ask ?" She checked herself, looking at her companion's snow-white hair, which was arranged in such a way that it looked immensely thick under the big black hat she wore a hat half grandmotherly and half coquettish, that certainly suited her to perfection.
Her thoughts were still full of motherly and grandmotherly cares and joys as she laid her head upon her pillow and passed into the land of dreams. When she awoke again it was to find the sun shining and the air full of the breath of flowers and the morning songs of the little birds in the tree tops just beyond her windows.
They went homeward presently, Estelle quietly content to have shown Raymond the flower-sprinkled strand, and he well pleased to have pleasured her. Raymond Ironsyde grumbled sometimes at the Factory Act and protested against grandmotherly legislation. Yet in some directions he anticipated it. He went, for example, beyond the Flax Mill Ventilation Regulations.
