The proprietress of the Hotel Saint Ange now stood close to Senator Burton and his companion. Her voluble tongue was stilled for once: she was twisting a corner of her blue check apron round and round in her strong, sinewy-looking fingers. "Well, Madame Poulain," the American spoke very gravely, "there has evidently been some strange misunderstanding.
Beam's greeting was very free and unceremonious, and without being asked to do so he took a seat near the proprietress of the establishment. "Well, well," he said, "this looks like old times. Why, Calthy, I don't believe you have sold a thing since I was here last." "If you had any eyes in your head," said Miss Calthea, severely, "you would see that I have sold a great deal.
In his rather sensational and vitriolic raking of Chicago, W. T. Stead strongly deals with the effects of department store conditions in filling the ranks of prostitutes. He quotes Dora Claflin, the proprietress of a brothel, as saying that such houses as hers obtained their inmates from the stores, those in particular where hours were long and the pay small.
I want to try savages." "Well?" "Monsieur le Baron, egotism is the law of the world. The proletarian peasant woman, who toils by the day, turns round when the diligence passes by, the peasant proprietress, who toils in her field, does not turn round. The dog of the poor man barks at the rich man, the dog of the rich man barks at the poor man. Each one for himself.
Notwithstanding her outward meekness and complaisance, all in the establishment treat her with respect and circumspection the proprietress, and her mates, and both housekeepers, and even the doorkeeper, that veritable sultan of the house of ill-fame, that general terror and hero. "I've covered it," says Zoe and turns over the trump which had been lying under the pack, wrong side up.
He advanced quickly towards me and asked me in German in a truculent voice what I wanted. I replied in the same language, I wanted a room. He shot a glance at me through his little slits of eyes on hearing my good Bonn accent, but his manner did not change. "The hotel is full. The gentleman cannot have a bed here. The proprietress is out at present.
Hardly had I entered, and greeted the proprietress, than I saw sitting in the window a lady, who, in a lace cap, looked very young and pretty, and in a silk mantilla seemed very well shaped. I could easily recognize that she was an assistant, for she was occupied in fastening a ribbon and feathers upon a hat. The milliner showed me the long box with single flowers of various sorts.
She now was proprietress of the road-house in the note described as Kessler's Café. It was a place for joy-riders. There was a cabaret, a hall for public dancing, and rooms for very private suppers. In so far as it welcomed only those who could spend money it was exclusive, but in all other respects its reputation was of the worst.
And for some time they lived most happily together, but her father, thinking that she was then too young she being only sixteen years of age to enter into the marriage state, induced her to leave the husband and temporarily board with him at the corner of Main and Clinton streets, in the city of Rochester, in this State, Her father subsequently succeeded in inducing her to enter a ladies' boarding school at Rochester, but her conduct there in flirting with young gentlemen was so openly improper that the proprietress was compelled to expel her from the establishment.
The mates next encountered a band of Chinamen carrying their burdens on bamboos, covering the ground smartly with their springing trot and cackling gaily as they went; then a 'hatter, drunk as a lord rolling heavily, his hands in his pockets, his hat jauntily set on the back of his head, bellowing the latest comic song, a lonely soul; then a dray, piled high with cradles, pans, picks, shovels, swags, and a miscellaneous cargo, on the top of which perched a bulky Irishwoman, going to the diggings to make her fortune as the proprietress of the Forest Creek Laundry.
