Introductions over, Mrs. Stewart led the way to the cozy little dining-room where the table was ready-spread for the luncheon. "I didn't pretend to provide much, Mrs. Brewster," explained Mrs. Stewart, "because, you see, the house is rented furnished for two years and I could not leave a pan full of soiled dishes and crumbs of food about for my new tenant to clear away.
She knew very little in private life of the doctor or of the clergyman in London, but not the less, on that account, might their introductions be of service to her in forming a circle of acquaintance at Littlebath. In this way she first came to think of Littlebath, and from this beginning she had gradually reached her decision.
While Solon Denney might occupy himself with the "Aid to English Composition," including "common errors corrected, good taste, figures of speech, and sentence building," the Eubanks ladies could further inform themselves upon grave affairs of "The Home and Family, Life, Health, Happiness, Human Love," etc., or upon more frivolous concerns, such as "Introductions and Salutations, Carriage and Horseback Riding, Croquet, Archery, and Matinee parties, and the Art of Conversation."
Some few more details as to their mode of procedure of verifying the Fosters' statements, which to the younger men seemed a perfectly unnecessary piece of business of probable journeys and introductions, and then farewell was bidden, and Hepburn and Coulson were in the passage donning their wraps, and rather to their indignation being assisted therein by Martha, who was accustomed to the office with her own master.
It was the special and not less splendid task of Thackeray to introduce us to people whom we knew already. Paradoxically, but very practically, it followed that his introductions were the longer of the two.

"I know your name, all right," she declared. "You're that Mister Fresh we hear so much about giving introductions to parties you ain't met yourself." Wilbur Cowan blushed for Spike's faux pas, looking to see him slink off abashed, but there were things he had yet to learn about his friend. "Just for that," said Spike, "I'll take this dance with you."
He was followed by Polly and Scott, and introductions and explanations came naturally. "It's not a Mexican refugee, and it is the lady of the photograph!" Polly said to herself, triumphantly. "But it doesn't look to me much like a love affair. They've got over it evidently." "So you also were raided by Juan Pachuca?" said Mrs. Conrad, as Scott seated himself beside her. The latter nodded.
Such a survey of a series of our own river-basins, say from Dee to Thames, and of a few leading Continental ones, say the Rhine and Meuse, the Seine and Loire, the Rhone, the Po, the Danube and, if possible, in America also, at least the Hudson and Mississippi will be found the soundest of introductions to the study of cities.
Examples are the von Schwabach family, whose ancestral house I occupied in Berlin, and Friedlaender-Fuld, officially rated as the richest man in Berlin, who made a large fortune in coke and its by-products. These two receptions are really introductions of an Ambassador to official and court society.
