But he was caught in many congratulations by the road, and presently he saw that his friend Darrell was being introduced to her by the old habitué of the house, Colonel Warington, who generally divided with the hostess the "lead" of these social evenings. Lady Kitty nodded carelessly to Mr. Darrell, and he sat down beside her. "That's a cool hand for a girl of eighteen!" thought Ashe.
Certain husbands brought their wives out of policy, for young men were few in that house; not a word could be whispered in any ear without attracting the attention of all; there was therefore no danger, either for young girls or wives, of love-making. Every evening, at six o'clock, the long antechamber received its furniture. Each habitue brought his cane, his cloak, his lantern.
I had supposed that every slave of the drug cursed his servitude and loathed and despised himself."... "Ah, monsieur! to ME those words sound almost like a sacrilege!" "But," continued Sir Brian, "your remarks interest me strangely; for two reasons. First, they confirm your assertion that you are, or were, an habitue of the Rue St.
"You're twenty dollars ahead," he muttered. "Quit it! I never saw anybody beat this game that much before." Orde merely shrugged him off with an appearance of growing excitement, while an HABITUE of the place, probably one of the hired fighters, growled into Newmark's ear.

I had once or twice noticed him among the detenus, and being sorry to think that a new boy should be an habitue of the extra schoolroom, I asked him one day why he was sent.
The dark winding labyrinths and passages from one part of the Ambar Palace to another were utterly confusing, and of a nature designed to mystify any one but an habitué. When the palace has its summer complement of residents, servants and all, it must contain some three hundred souls, besides the soldiery, who occupy the barracks outside to guard the entrances.
One habitué of the house succeeded, however, in drawing her out of it, Cabassu, who styled himself on his cards "professor of massage;" a stout dark thick-set man, redolent of garlic and hair-oil, square-shouldered, covered with hair to his eyes, who knew stories of Parisian seraglios, trivial anecdotes within the limited range of Madame's intellect.
But this gentleman was not an habitué, nor was he known even by name to any of the small crowd that was then assembled. But it was known to many of them that he had had a great "turn of luck" on the preceding day, and had walked off from the "rouge-et-noir" table with four or five hundred pounds.
