Doubtless at high noon, in the broad, vulgar middle of the day, when Madame Beck's large school turned out rampant, and externes and pensionnaires were spread abroad, vying with the denizens of the boys' college close at hand, in the brazen exercise of their lungs and limbs doubtless then the garden was a trite, trodden-down place enough.
They were placed, however, at a distance from me, and it was not until the pensionnaires had dispersed, and some of them, according to custom, had come out into the garden, that he had an opportunity of making me acquainted with them. "Will you allow me to introduce you to my daughter?" he said, moved apparently by a paternal inclination to provide this young lady with social diversion. "Mrs.
The gathering was quite a large one, for Mr Judge had insisted upon inviting all the friends who had been kind to his fiancee and her daughter during their three years' sojourn in the city, while the pensionnaires at "Villa Beau Sejour" came en masse, headed by Madame herself, in a new black silk costume, her white transformation elaborately waved and curled for the occasion.
She worried the pensionnaires to death, too. It was their duty to keep the salon tidy, and Miss Waghorn would flutter into the room as early as eight o'clock, find the furniture still unarranged, and at once dart out again to scold the girls.

I believe you could get ahead of the fabulous monster in open combat. She is, after all, a very flabby, fabulous monster and one prick would do for her." "La Marquise d'Ochtè is attending Madame Brune in the salon au cinquième étage," announced a very excited little housemaid, who was supposed to speak English for the benefit of the American pensionnaires at Maison Pace.
The good sister Monique had been mistress of the pensionnaires, and had evidently taken much pains to keep her charge innocent and devout.
She was absolutely dominant within, though never actually in residence for any length of time. It was here that "Esther" and "Athalie," which Racine had composed expressly for Madame de Maintenon's pensionnaires, were produced for the first time.
