Mr Pilkington almost abandoned his trip to Rochester on receiving this devastating piece of information. "He comes on in act one in kilts!" "In kilts! At Mrs Stuyvesant van Dyke's lawn-party! On Long Island!" "It isn't Mrs Stuyvesant van Dyke any longer, either," said Freddie. "She's been changed to the wife of a pickle manufacturer." "A pickle manufacturer!" "Yes.
One of these officers, a nice old Major, with a bald spot under his gold-banded cap, knew Mrs. Gray, and came to welcome her. His "girls" were gone over to Newport to a lawn-party, he said; but he insisted on taking Mrs. Gray and Cannie in to see their quarters, which were in a casemate, in close neighborhood to one of the great guns.
Ruthven has it you know she once dressed it as a doll calling it her army doll! but now we can't find it. She has hidden it somewhere, out of doors in the shrubbery, we think, and Miss Bond and I expect to secure it the next time she takes a fancy to have all her dolls out for a 'lawn-party. "Dr.
Beautifully done... Bach and Beethoven... a lawn-party first... I saw Miss Balch several times, by the way... looking extremely handsome...." Charity dropped her pencil and forgot to listen to the Targatt girl's sing-song. Why had Mr. Miles suddenly brought up Annabel Balch's name?

Camellia never seemed conscious of her fine attire that could always truthfully be said. Although on the present occasion she was dressed as duchesses dress for a lawn-party, she seemed supremely unconscious of the fact. The only trouble was that the rest of us could not be unconscious of it. The dinner moved slowly.
Dick smiled, whether with amusement or with cordiality it would be impossible to say. "Mrs. Appleton, may I introduce Mr. Norris, who has come here as a new citizen. Apart from other considerations, we are grateful to anybody that swells the census, aren't we?" "So glad!" she murmured. "Mr. Percival must bring you to my lawn-party next week."
Now, this, and not the series representing the martyrdom of the old couple at Douro Lodge Gates, whose rigid frames bore witness to the close packing of a gentlemanly residence, this was the sketch General Ople, in his madness from the pursuing bite of the gadfly, handed about at Mrs. Pollington's lawn-party.
The tradition of vacation and of the country was preserved in such terms as "cottage." You would be invited to a "lawn-party," and you would find a blaze of illumination, and potted plants enough to fill a score of green-houses, and costumes and jewelled splendour suggesting the Field of the Cloth of Gold.
