She allowed him to draw his own cheques, but there was hardly a cheque that she did not scrutinize except for a private account of about five hundred a year which, tacitly, she allowed him to keep for expenditure on his mistress or mistresses. He had to have his jaunts to Paris; he had to send expensive cables in cipher to Florence about twice a week.
She passed with many of them for a person of importance; she gave little tea-parties in her private room and shared in the innocent amusements of the place in sea-bathing, and in jaunts in open carriages, in strolls on the sands, and in visits to the play. Mrs.
He had decided as a first step in the following up of this matter to invite Bill down to Elizabeth's farm, and the thought occurred to him that this had better be done to-night, for he knew by experience that on the morning after these little jaunts he was seldom in the mood to seek people out and invite them to go anywhere.
It's all very well for boys with rich fathers to run to clothes, and city jaunts, and 'chickens, and cabs and flowers. Your mother is working tooth and nail to earn her six thousand, and when you realize just what it means for a woman to battle against men in a man's game, you'll stop being a spender, and become an earner because you'll want to. I'll tell you what I'm going to do, Kid.
It was very peaceful on the shady porch with that whirlwind of a Judy gone for several hours on one of her crazy peddling jaunts. What a girl she was for plunging!

For Jaune loved Rose absolutely to distraction.
Felicia gave a bound which made them all start, and with flashing eye and quivering nostril retorted: "That is too much. Look you, Jenkins, what do you call Bohemia? A charming word, by the way, which should evoke visions of long wandering jaunts in the sunlight, halting in shady nooks, the first taste of luscious fruits and sparkling fountains, taken at random on the highroads.
You, who have been in the tropics many times on your lion-spearing and snake-hunting jaunts, ask such a thing? Haven't you ever seen the damage these infernal things can do?" Jim shook his head. "I've never happened to be in termite country, though I've heard tales about them." "If you've heard stories, you have at least in idea of their deadliness when they're allowed to multiply.
I am naturally undemonstrative; but I said to myself that Melanerpes erythrocephalus was a very handsome bird. On one of my first jaunts into the suburbs of Tallahassee I noticed not far from the road a bit of swamp, shallow pools with muddy borders and flats. It was a likely spot for "waders," and would be worth a visit.
This morning, for the first time since his accident, Lad was able to spring into the car-tonneau, unaided. His hurt was all-but well. Enthroning himself in the precise center of the rear seat, he prepared to enjoy every inch of the ride. No matter how long or how tedious were these jaunts, Lad never went to sleep or ceased to survey with eager attention the myriad details of the trip.
