Knocking on the door in a peculiar way with the handle of his sword, he made himself known as an habitue of the house, and was promptly admitted the door being carefully made fast again the moment he had entered. The large, low room into which he made his way was filled with the smoke from many pipes, and redolent with the fumes of wine.
You can interrogate Signor Ceccherelli, who has really distinguished himself in his quality of habitué of this house and your particular friend." "I know you're angry, Gerald; I don't wonder you're ready to call names. But the thing is simple, isn't it, after all, now that I understand. The harm done isn't such as can never be mended.
You may know him instantly from the old habitué of the streets: he plants himself in the very thick and throng of the most crowded thoroughfare the rapids, so to speak, of the human current where he is of no earthly use, but, on the contrary, very much in the way, and where, while everybody wishes him at Jericho, he wonders that nobody gives him a copper; or he undertakes impossible things, such as the sweeping of the whole width of Charing Cross from east to west, between the equestrian statue and Nelson's Pillar, where, if he sweep the whole, he can't collect, and if he collect, he can't sweep, and he breaks his heart and his back too in a fruitless vocation.
Lady Sellingworth was among the first few women who left the drawing-room, and was sitting at a round table in the big, stone-coloured dining-room when Baron de Melville, an habitue at Coombe, bent over her.

His "How do you do?" in the purest English as he met a companion in the street was as devoid of accent as would have been that of a habitué of London.
She liked Vancouver too, and regretted what he had done. Her liking only extended to his conversation and agreeable manners, for she was beginning to despise his character; but he had so long been an habitue about the house that she could not make up her mind to turn him out. But for all that, she could not help being cold to him at first.
This kettle may be maintained as a constant habitué of the range, and into it the cook may be instructed to throw all the fibrous trimmings of meat, all the gristle, tendons, and bones, having previously broken up these last with a mallet. Such a kettle will furnish the basis for clear, rich soups or other palatable dishes.
We are deputed to ask you to explain, if you can, your conduct, your attack, which it seemed to us was absolutely unprovoked, upon an habitue of the place and an associate of our own." "There is only one explanation which I can make," I answered slowly. "I went there, as Louis will tell you, absolutely a stranger, and absolutely by chance.
