I hear that Europe is strewn with them." "Nice prospect for you!" "Isn't it? But beggars mustn't be choosers." "You don't look much like a beggar." "Because I can make my own dresses and hats and nightgowns." "Well, if your Princess sheds you, let me know, and you may live yet to deliver me from Simpkins. I feel you'd be equal to it! My address is but I'll give you a card."

He put me in this boat and would not save himself.
Araminta was still unconscious, but she was undressed, and in bed, clad in one of Miss Evelina's dainty but yellowed nightgowns.

First I had everything laid out on the bed, my best nightgowns and lace stockings, for the trip; then I couldn't go; and I arranged the party so carefully for you, Gregory had a practice piece ready for you to hear, and and nothing. I wonder if any other man is as selfish as you? "Maybe not," he returned peaceably. "What happened was unavoidable. It was a social necessity, decided for me.
"Oh, but it makes people look so handsome! Frederica looks like she is a real beauty! I should like to be dressed so. Daisy, don't you suppose queens and ladies, like those in the pictures, are always dressed so?" "I suppose they put on nightgowns when they go to bed," said Ella Stanfield, soberly.
