Then came a tenement, under which two enterprising Greeks by the name of Pappas spelled Papas lower down conducted a business called "The Gentleman," a tailoring, pressing, and dyeing establishment. Janet could see the brilliantined black heads of the two proprietors bending over their boards, and sometimes they would be lifted to smile at her as she passed.
Then the old colonial aristocracy, who had been born in broadcloth and silk, and unlike the new had not been transported, but only their papas and mammas, were driven to despair; but at last they hit upon a remedy. They would be distinguished by hook or by crook, and the only way left now was always to go on foot.
Papas became cross and stingy, and mammas insinuated that daughters were misbehaving. The daughters fought their own battles, and became tired in the fighting of them, and many a one had declared to herself before July had come to an end that it was all vanity and vexation of spirit. The Altringhams always went to Goodwood, husband and wife.
It is not held respectful to call them Papas, their true and ancient appellation, but those who wish to address them with civility always call them Hieromonachi.

The men laughed, although each felt a curious deep pain at the boy's words.
But families on a trip like this. No!" "Well, they're going," Odin retorted. "From what I hear, you were the only one who voted against them.

I am not of the Brons, but I go because of a promise."
Her papa furnished pokers and shovels for the schools, and her papa would call on the Board. Mary Agatha's Papa did see to it, and the papas of Sadie and Sally and Rebecca supported him. They called it religious persecution; and they wanted Miss Fanny removed. Emmy Lou heard about it at home. It was vacation. Uncle Charlie owned a newspaper. It was for Miss Fanny.
"I don't swear except when I am in a passion, which, I am sorry to say, is very seldom; and I don't promise till I know what I promise; neither do I go on driving runaway boys in other men's gigs unless I know that I am taking them to a safe place, where their papas and mammas can get at them." "I have no papa, no mamma," said the boy, dolefully and with quivering lips. "Poor boy!
