Quite unpractised in such sort of note-writing, had there been time for scruples and fears as to style she would have felt them in abundance: but something must be instantly written; and with only one decided feeling, that of wishing not to appear to think anything really intended, she wrote thus, in great trembling both of spirits and hand

It is very useful at parties, but it takes up a great deal of time, and with all I can do to save her in note-writing, the morning is gone directly. After luncheon, she had to ride with George, and came back in a hurry to make some canvassing calls about the orphan asylum, and Miss Bracy's sister. If we get her in at all, it will be Flora's diplomacy.
This business of mysterious note-writing, and secret negotiations , was peculiarly suited to our heroine's genius and taste.
An old gentleman who filled in her family the office of "the /chevalier/" in a French one; namely, who told stories; not too long, and did not challenge you for interrupting them; who had a good air, and unexceptionable pedigree, a turn for wit, literature, note-writing, and the management of lap-dogs; who could attend /Madame/ to auctions, plays, courts, and the puppet-show; who had a right to the best company, but would, on a signal, give up his seat to any one the pretty /capricieuse/ whom he served might select from the worst, in short a very useful, charming personage, "vastly" liked by all, and "prodigiously" respected by none, this gentleman, I say, by name Mr.
She dashed them angrily away, and sat down again to her note-writing. Among the cards she had still to fill up, was one of which the envelope was addressed to the Hon. Hugh Flaxman, 90 St. Jame's Place. Lady Charlotte, though she had afterward again left town, had been in Martin Street at the end of October.
Trenor's greeting deepened her irritation. If one did drag one's self out of bed at such an hour, and come down fresh and radiant to the monotony of note-writing, some special recognition of the sacrifice seemed fitting. But Mrs. Trenor's tone showed no consciousness of the fact.
We had not been on note-writing terms, and there was nothing in that visit to alter our relations; moreover, six months before, she would not have dreamed of addressing me in that way. I was doubly convinced, therefore, that she was passing through a crisis, that she was not in her normal state of nerves. Mr.
The number of European inhabitants in Hong Kong will this summer be trebled by the removal of most of the merchants from Macao; and the general health of the place will be anxiously watched. The prejudicial effects of going into the sun might be avoided, almost entirely, even by men of business, were they to adopt the Calcutta system of note-writing.
When the two friends wanted to meet at once, on any urgent or confidential business which would not allow of note-writing, they used this means of communication. Thus we see that similar customs prevail in every rank of society, and differ only in manner, civility, and small details. The world of fashion, too, has its argot, its slang; but that slang is called style.
