But her selfishness had at least the virtue of a live-and-let-live attitude that contrasted with the futile aggressiveness of Mrs. Edward Ffinch-Brown. She asked Claire no questions concerning her life or her prospects; she did not even pry very deeply into the chances that her sister had for an ultimate recovery.
But they are stuck-ups; they really are." "And what do you call yourself?" "Oh, the live-and-let-live that's our title. But it's only quite among ourselves, and perhaps I ought not to have said it." "I will never repeat what you have told me in confidence, dear. But now for your request?" "Well, we of Maggie's set want to invite the Aneta set to a sort of general party.
"I hope not." "You won't. Why should you? A sensible woman with looks especially if she knows how to carry her clothes can stay in New York as long as she pleases, and live off the fat of the land." "That's good news," said Mildred. She began to like the landlady not for what she said, but for the free and frank and friendly way of the saying a human way, a comradely way, a live-and-let-live way.
