"Oh, please go on smoking," she said; "I don't mind it in the least." Ryder threw the cigar into a receptacle and looked closely at his visitor. "So you are Shirley Green, eh?" "That is my nom-de-plume yes," replied the girl nervously. She was already wishing herself back at Massapequa.
She had published several novels under the nom-de-plume of "Rowena." She had produced a volume of poems; she had written a play which had been produced at a matinee; and finally her pamphlets on political questions stamped her, in the opinion of her immediate circle, as a William Pitt in petticoats.
Then apparently you changed your mind, crossed it out, and substituted Douglas Jesson, which we took to be a nom-de-plume, especially as you gave us for your address initials to a post-office." "Did any one else see it?" "Not unless Drexley did. He has never spoken to me about it." Douglas drank more wine. He was unused to it, and the colour mounted to his pale cheeks.
The name signed to her novels is the nom-de-plume of a lady who, as is also apparent from her work, has lived long enough in Russia to become familiar with the people and their ways. Les Koumiassine is a story of Russian life, treating of a rich family whose name gives the title to the novel.
Poet, mentioned by Izaak Walton as having written a pastoral poem, Thealma and Clearchus. As nothing else is known of him it has been held by some that the name was a nom-de-plume of W. himself. It has been shown, however, that a gentleman of the name existed during the reign of Elizabeth. W. says he was a friend of Spenser, and that his life was "useful, quiet, and virtuous."
Surely you knew that the fellow who called himself 'Jim Airth' when out ranching in the West, and still keeps it as his nom-de-plume, is when at home James, Earl of Airth and Monteith, and a few other names I have forgotten; the finest old title in Scotland!" "Did you bring your rackets, boys?"
Gys Grandit! the writer of fierce political polemics and powerful essays that were the life and soul, meat and drink of all the members of the Christian Democratic party! "Gys Grandit is my nom-de-plume," pursued the young man, composedly, "I never had any hope of being acknowledged as Cyrillon Vergniaud, son of my father, I had truly no name and resolved to create one.
The lady with him just asked him whether he wrote under his own name or a nom-de-plume, and you know how irritating that is." Joy came obediently away. After all, it didn't matter about Jack's other name. She knew perfectly well that she should see him again. Everything was bound to go happily.... And till she saw him again, she had him to remember.
Thirty years after I had assumed my nom-de-plume a gray-haired stranger called at my house one day and asked to see me. The name he gave recalled no one I had ever known, and in meeting there was no recognition on either side.
