But she meant there should be no misunderstanding of the relations between the families. In Trumet she had made Mrs. Dott her protegee because it was her nature to patronize, and Serena had not resented the patronage. Now circumstances were quite different; now the Dotts possessed quite as much worldly wealth as the Blacks, but Annette did not intend to let Serena presume upon that. No, indeed!
Well then, do fancy it, and how it rang in silver peals when our fairy friends, on entering the last nursery they had to visit, found Ambrosia's protégée in a flood of angry tears, stamping her foot on the ground in a passion! "You naughty naughty girl!" exclaimed the old Nurse, "you'll wake the baby and make your own eyes so red you won't be fit to be seen to night by the company!"
The bulk of the armies did not engage, to my great displeasure. Had they fought the victory would have been mine. There has been none on either side. God, I trust, reserves it for you and for me ... the hope you have placed in me shall not be vain." Thus he wrote on March 7th to encourage his anxious protégée. After the second defeat it was to her that the duke turned again.
It has been narrated in a former chapter how the benevolent nobleman had given his protegee money to pay off her little debt to Miss Briggs, who however still remained behind with her friends; whence my lord came to the painful conclusion that Mrs. Crawley had made some other use of the money confided to her than that for which her generous patron had given the loan.
Madame Okraska is incapable of defending herself against them, I hear. The child's clothes might have come from Norway!" The protégée, protector or problem, who turned to them now and then her oddly blunted, oddly resolute young profile, had tawny hair, and a sun-browned skin. She wore a little white silk frock with flat bows of dull blue upon it. Her evening cloak was bordered with swansdown.
The protégée of a wealthy woman who wore wonderful rings and priceless pearls and carried herself as a high-born dame was another person from the mere transitory companion who, once at Rangoon, would be handed over to Karl Krauss, her uncle incredible! Uncle by marriage yes, but still an inmate of his home.
"I suppose I had better see Quiverful," said the chaplain. "I suppose you had," said the bishop. But no sooner had Mr. Slope promised Quiverful the wardenship, Mrs. Proudie writing at the same time to her protégée, Mrs. Quiverful, than he repented of the step he had taken. Eleanor Bold, Mr. Harding's daughter, was a widow in prosperous circumstances, and when Mr.
Are we not sisters, and was it not a mere accident that made me the elder, and Madame de Montrond's protegee?" "I have no words to thank you for so much kindness. I will only say I am so happy here that I could never have believed there was such full content on this sinful earth." "Wait till we are in London, Angelique. Here we endure existence. It is only in London that we live."
A robust woman might go into a factory and earn more; but factory work is unintermitted, twelve hours daily, week in and out, in the same movement, in close air, amid the clatter of machinery; and a person delicately organized soon sinks under it. It takes a stolid, enduring temperament to bear factory labor. Now look at Marianne's house and family, and see what is insured to your protégée there.
She sent for her protegee, and had a talk with her. Now Violet Wood was by nature a simple-hearted, good-humored girl, who loved to be well dressed, well housed, well served, and, above all, to be much petted, especially by such a charming master of the art as was Mr. Fabian. She also loved to oblige her friends. So she yielded to the arguments of Mrs.
