This was before I was an habituee; but after I had become one I wore, like the other jewel-bedecked dames, woolen stockings and fur-lined overshoes. The contrast must be funny, if one could see above board and under board at the same time. The Storys generally have a lion for dinner and for their evening entertainments. My invitations to their dinners always read thus: "Dear Mrs.
John was delighted to feel himself already on easy terms with the fair vision. "You have not been here long?" said Lillie to John. "No, I have only just arrived." "And you were never here before?" "No, Miss Ellis, I am entirely new to the place." "I am an old habituée here," said Lillie, "and can recommend myself as authority on all points connected with it."
Avenel, courted for his sake, more than her own, obtained the wish of her heart, and was received as an acknowledged habituee into the circles of fashion. Amidst these circles, however, Dick found that his home entirely vanished; and when he came home from the House of Commons, tired to death, at two in the morning, disgusted at always hearing that Mrs.
Virgilia, surely; by reason of her age she was some six or eight years the senior, by reason of her stature she was several inches the taller, and by reason of her standing as an habituee surely she must know how to behave in a studio. So Preciosa tossed her pretty little head, and laughed, as she felt herself expected to. "The shop, yes," she acquiesced gaily. "And if I come again "

That lady is a pretty constant habituée, and with Sylla to chaperon is not likely to miss it on this occasion. She has joined forces already with Lady Mary: as she said, they have all a common interest in the event of the day, for was not Captain Bloxam the life and soul of the Hussar side, and were they not all there ready to sympathize or applaud?
The affection his wife had offered and he had repulsed, in the dawn of their wedded life, changed by degrees to disdain and hatred. Now as chamberlain to the queen my Lord Chesterfield had, apartments in the palace, by reason of which the countess became an habituee of the court.
In our household clever Alice is an old habituée, and her timely arrival has saved many a situation which was twining itself about more "ifs" than it could comfortably support. The wisdom which lies behind true humour is found in the nonsense tale of infancy as truly as in mature humour, but in its own kind and degree.
The Lupetea was a rather handsome little vessel, well-fitted for the island trade, and carried besides Villari and the mate six hands, all of whom were Europeans, and Raymond at once recognised several of them as old habituée of Apia beach men whose reputation as loafers and boozers of the first water was pretty well known in Samoa. The mate, too, was one of the same sort.
As she could not do the former she came home, and joined a Raymond party to California, but soon separated herself from it, as the members were not to her taste.
