The Secretary of the Legation at Washington was surprised to receive a letter from the Governor-General of Morovenia requesting him to find apartments for the Princess Kalora and a small retinue.
Popova, writing under dictation, sent a message to Morovenia to the effect that they had been compelled to wait a week in order to get comfortable rooms on a steamer. Kalora had the dressmakers working night and day.
Of all the sexes, there is only one that ever made a real impression on me." "And to think that some day I shall have to return to Morovenia!" "Forget it," urged Mr. Pike, in a low and soothing tone. "Far be it from me to start anything in your family, but if I were you, I would never go back there to serve a life sentence in one of those lime-kilns, with a curtain over my face.
Frock-coats are more conventional than beaded jackets. The fez remains as a part of the insignia of the old faith and hereditary devotion to the Sick Man. The generation of males which has been extricating itself from the shackles of Orientalism has not devoted much worry to the Condition of Woman. In Morovenia woman is still unliberated.
She wore four heavily quilted and padded gowns, one over another, and when she and Jeneka were summoned from their apartments and went out to meet the company under the trees, they were almost like twins and both duck-like in general outlines. First they met Mrs. Rawley Plumston, a very tall, bony and dignified woman in gray, wearing a most flowery hat. To every man of Morovenia Mrs.
Pike greeted him rapturously and gave him the keys to North America, and then Kalora patted him on the arm and sent him away to wait for her. They sat and talked for an hour sat and talked and laughed and pieced out between them the wonderful details of that very lively day in Morovenia. "And you have come all the way to Washington, D.C. in order to increase your weight?" he asked.
I have seen people eat sugar on tomatoes and pepper on ice-cream. There may be in Morovenia one one would be sufficient one bachelor who is no stickler for full-blown loveliness. I may find a man who has become inoculated with western heresies and believes that a woman with intellect is desirable, even though under weight. I may find a fool, or an aristocrat who has gambled.
Here you are despised and ridiculed a victim of heathen prejudice left over from the Dark Ages. Get away, even if you have to walk, and take my word for it, the moment you leave Morovenia you will be a very beautiful girl; not a merely attractive young person, but what we would call at home a radiant beauty the oriental type, you know. And as a personal favor to me, don't be fat."
Say, if you ever walked up Fifth Avenue you would block the traffic! And in the palm-garden at the Waldorf why, you and the head waiter would own the place! Are you trying to string me by asking such questions? Are you a real ingénue, or a kidder?" "I hardly know what you mean, but I assure you that here in Morovenia they laugh at me because I am not fat."
He lived in Pennsa Pennsylvania, that's it." "Pennsylvania is about four times as large as Morovenia." "But he is very wealthy. He talked as if he had come into millions." "I can well believe it. The millionaires of Pennsylvania are even as the sands of the sea or the leaves of the forest." "He owns some sort of mills or factories where they make steel."
