She spoke of the boarding-house in which she had taken a room, of the weather and the baby, told him she had been for a walk on the front with a lady-friend whom she had met in the boarding-house and who had taken such a fancy to baby, she was going to the theatre on Saturday night, and Brighton was filling up. It touched Philip because it was so matter-of-fact.
After they had enjoyed their laughter awhile, my Northern lady-friend said, 'Did you preach for him? "'Yes, said the pastor; 'and prayed for him too. "'Walking through the streets of that place in the evening, I saw evidence that no minister nor citizen there was justified in casting the first stone at the South for immorality.
I performed such follies as made Swiftwater Bill famous when, after he had squabbled with his 'lady-friend, and he saw her ordering eggs, of which she happened to be fond, he bought up every egg in town at a dollar a piece, nine hundred in all, and smashed them, to spite her, against the side of her house.
He never would write an oratorio, because he had no hope of excelling Mendelssohn in that branch of musical art. His last composition was an aria written to Italian words for a Spanish lady-friend, the Señorita Zapater; and he was about to arrange the accompaniment for the orchestra when his last illness came on. Personally, Giacomo Meyerbeer had many characteristics which were not inviting.
No, she had been living with her "lady-friend"; and that lady-friend having departed to the country for lack of employment until times would pick up, she was looking about for a boarding-house. The subject of work gave me my opportunity, and I asked her if she knew of a job. She shook her head.
'General Ople, I forbid you, as you value my esteem, ever and I repeat, I forbid you ever to afflict my ears with that phrase, "lady-friend!" The General blinked in a state of insurgent humility. These incessant whippings could not but sting the humblest of men; and 'lady-friend, he was sure, was a very common term, used, he was sure, in the very best society.
I'm the supe of a mission Sunday-school now, meself; and I've done me dirty best to push the gospel news along." Here he turned to Henrietta. "Be your lady-friend coming over to-morrow afternoon, sister Manners?"
"Not that I've seen. I met Mr. Cunningham outside, and we passed a few remarks." "What, not Mr. Cunnginham?" "Yes." "Oh, you mean Mr. Cunningham." "Yes. Mr. Cunningham." "I've been out to tea at a lady friend's." Her secret being at last given to the world, and the name of the lady-friend being even adumbrated, Jacky made no further experiments in the difficult and tiring art of conversation.
But the mothers of the poorer classes have not that training. They cannot stand the sight of a hungry child; they must feed it, and so they do. "When the school children beg bread, they seldom or rather never meet with a refusal" a lady-friend, who has worked several years in Whitechapel in connection with a workers' club, writes to me.
Marshal Villars, an extremely eminent old military gentleman, somewhat of a friend, or husband of a lady-friend, to M. de Voltaire, for one thing; and capable of slicing Italy to pieces at a fine rate, in the condition it was in. Never had Kaiser such a bill of broken-glass to pay for meddling in neighbors, elections before.
