Sophia, fatigued by regular overwork, became weary of the situation. She was angry with the Prussians for dilatoriness, and with the French for inaction, and she poured out her English spleen on her boarders. The boarders told each other in secret that the patronne was growing formidable.
"My ancient patronne." "What's her name?" "I don't know." "Where does she live?" "I shan't tell you." He held her wrist tightly and pressed her back till her eyes were compelled to mark his white, pinched lips and altogether bloodless temples. His hand tightened upon her; his full, boyish figure straightened and heightened beyond nature; his regard was terrible.
I complimented the patronne on her tea and she said so many automobiles with foreigners English principally passed through Soissons in the summer all asking for tea that she thought she must try to get some. One of the ladies told her where to get Lipton Tea and how much to pay for it. She has found it a very good speculation.
Cartouche, on the other hand, chose his cabaret for the wit of its patronne, and was always happy in the elegance and accomplishment of his companions. One point of likeness remains. The two heroes resembled each other not only in their profession, but in their person. Though their trade demanded physical strength, each was small and slender of build.
I have not questioned M'sieu Paddington; I know nothing of his affairs, but I like him, I I admire him very much, and if I desire to meet him, to receive his attentions, I shall do so. I am not harming Miss Lawton, who has been my patronne, my one friend in this strange, big country. M'sieu Paddington does not know that I am working at Dr.

Her best room had been made ready for the wife of an officer just coming out of hospital, but there would be time to prepare another.
"I really think you're beginning to like me a bit," he smiled. "You ARE silly, you know I like you, or else I shouldn't be here, should I?" They were old customers at the little restaurant in Soho by now, and the patronne gave them a smile as they came in. The waiter was obsequious. "Let me order the dinner tonight," said Mildred.
You see the patron found that the audience didn't laugh and the patronne found that my long body spoiled her act and so I go to Paris to-morrow." She rose from the depths of envying wonder to the heights of pity. She flashed indignation at the abominable treatment he had received from the Coincons. She scorched them with her contempt.
Here the doors of the Hotel Bete open before you like the portals of a mausoleum. There is no greeting from the Patronne; your arrival gives rise to no pleasant welcoming bustle. The concierge receives you, and you see at once that her cheerful smile is assumed. No one could really be cheerful at the Hotel Bete.
The music was both rhythmic and ordered, now a waltz, now a tune in two-four time, but never faster or slower, and never ending ... except in the middle of each dance, for a brief few seconds, while the patronne collected a sou from each dancer, after which the dance proceeded.
