A beauty in red, white, and blue is our goddess Venus with the apple of Paris in her hand; and after two visits to the Pump Room, and one promenade in the walks about the Assembly House, she had as completely divided the ordinary guests of the Wells into male and female in opinion as her mother Nature had done in it sex.
Still, as a decent married man with a wife and children, he took such pleasures as talking to the girl on the promenade in strict moderation, so very soon he went off with his mackintosh flapping. A few minutes later Lillie came to relieve guard, her woollen tam o' shanter wet and her front hair blown out of curl. "I've had about enough of this," she said.

She hesitated for a moment, frowning. Then she continued her walk.
On the promenade the mothers had their sons by their side, and Mrs. Blossom had secured possession of Felix in some manner that did not appear; but the good woman seemed to be superlatively happy. The commander did not take a seat, but took a stand in front of the company. He described the two big steamers that were approaching, in answer to a question put by Mrs. Belgrave.
Collect this sum, you Romans, which this stranger offers me; ye who love to promenade in my garden, unite yourselves in a common work.
