A tremendous dandy of the Four-in-hand Club school high neckcloth, huge pins, gorgeous patterns, enormous buttons, and a flower in his mouth. His lady as handsome as a star, though a little hollow-eyed and passée.
Notwithstanding the beauty of her face and figure, and the greatness of her style both as actress and singer, she was pronounced passée alike in person and voice, with a species of brutal frankness not uncommon in English criticism. When Rossini arrived in Paris he was almost immediately appointed director of the Italian Opera by the Duc de Lauriston.
"Yet she doesn't really care for him, she just wants to be married before she is considered passée." Trudy was very proud of her occasional French. "She'll be twenty-six her next birthday!" "Dear me, girls take their time these days; I was eighteen the day Mr. Faithful led me to the altar." "When are you going to get married?" Luke asked Trudy with malice aforethought.
"The only fun was the Contessa's, don't you know. She's a fine woman for her age, but she's Goodness! I forgot. She's your " "She is passée," said the girl calmly. "You make me afraid, Lord Montjoie. How much of a critic you are, and see through women, through and through." At this the noble Marquis laughed with true enjoyment of his own gifts. "But you ain't offended?" he said.
It had in its youth distinctly the cachet of the verbal flying squadron, the "nameless something," the oenanthic whiff which flies to the head. There are signs that its best days as a word are now over, and in contemplating it at present one has a vision of a passée brunette, in the costume of Fifine at the Fair, solacing herself with thoughts of early triumphs.
"Gay smiles to comfort, April showers to move, And all the nature, all the art of Love." "Un peu passee!" The Swiss is impertinent, and knows nothing of the matter. His master knows but little more. He would, however, know infinitely more if I could take the trouble to instruct him; to which I am almost tempted for want of something better to do. Adieu, my Gabrielle.
La nuit passee you charged me pour deux chandelles when I only had one; hier vous avez charged me avec glace when I had none at all; tout les jours you are coming some fresh game or other on me, mais vous ne pouvez pas play this savon dodge on me twice. Savon is a necessary de la vie to any body but a Frenchman, et je l'aurai hors de cet hotel or make trouble. You hear me. Allons.
If men such as he could guess at the repressed longings for the brave array of other times that assail the wearers of well-saved therefore passee finery, at sight of other women less conscientious, or with richer husbands than themselves, reveling in the latest and most enticing modes if eyes scornful of plain attire could penetrate to the jealously locked closet where feminine vanity and native extravagance are kept under watch and ward by the love the critic is ready to doubt, print, gingham and stuff gowns would be fairer than ermine and velvet in John's esteem.
Neckties were his weakness, and he never saw one which pleased him without buying it, and his tailor had orders to notify him of the last fashion as it came out. It was quite a wrench to part with any of them, but as some were passée he promised them to Ruby, but told her he hardly thought he should attend the sale. Now, however, he changed his mind.
I say the villas look dreary and lonesome as places can be made to look in Italy, what with their high garden walls, their long, low piles of stabling, and the passee indecency of their nymphs and fauns, foolishly strutting in the attitudes of the silly and sinful old Past; and it must be but a dull life that the noble proprietors lead there.
