Ledger, or whatever his name is, that she is reported engaged to, is not the kind of a man for Ethel at all and, that she hasn't seemed herself for a year some unhappy love affair the man was a scamp, or something so this trip will be just what she needs. Charlie will be with her, of course, and we can invite that young Mr. Holbrooke; you have met him, that nice young man the VanNesses' nephew.
"Why, for Ethel, of course! Goose! Don't you see that if Ethel is not happy if she is not really in love with this St. Ledger and she spends two or three weeks in the same camp with a nice young man like Mr. Holbrooke well, there's no place like the woods for romance, dear; you see, I know.

Oh, Hubert, won't it be just grand?" Appleton caught something of his wife's enthusiasm. "It sure will, little girl! But what's he for?" "What is who for?" "This Holbrooke person.

She feels accidents are apt to occur with motor cars and there are no other ladies in your party and the crowds " Winthrop carefully avoided looking at Miss Forbes. "I should be very sorry," he murmured.
Mr Holbrooke drew attention to what happens very often in our playhouses: people come apparently entertaining the idea that if they have paid for their seats they owe no duty towards their neighbours or the author, composer or players.
And then finding the poor French boy was indeed lost and swept overboard, alone he passed the rope round the nearly insensible man, protecting and holding him as the seas came; and finally watching when the vessel listed in, alone he got him on the toprail of the bulwarks, with an exertion of superhuman strength, and then, with shouts to the people ashore, 'Are you ready? and 'I'm a-coming! threw Holbrooke, in spite of himself, into the sea; and both were safely drawn ashore.
When Mr Joseph Holbrooke was conducting the overture to Pierrot and Pierrette at His Majesty's Theatre he interrupted the orchestra in order to request some members of the audience to stop talking.
