Among the many Forsytes, present on a hunting-ground theirs, by personal prescriptive right, or proxy, was Soames with his wife and daughter. He had not been at either school, he took no interest in cricket, but he wanted Fleur to show her frock, and he wanted to wear his top hat parade it again in peace and plenty among his peers. He walked sedately with Fleur between him and Annette.
But we won't stay here to be killed as his proxy! Not without fighting first!" A voice, crisp: "Target globe launched, sir." "Low-power overdrive toward the gas-giant planet. One-twentieth second. Five, four, three, two, one!" There was the unbearable double sensation of going into, and breakout from, overdrive simultaneously.
You hire down-trodden reporters to go and abase themselves to get the information, while we wouldn't lower ourselves enough to ask even by proxy. We just let the sewing women and hired girls tell us. Being an exclusive set in a small town is a whole lot harder than it is in New York, and I've always admired our youngsters for the way they've carried it off.
Diana is the only one I'd want to tell, and, even if I hadn't sworn secrecy to Jane, I can't tell Diana things now. She tells everything to Fred I know she does. Well, I've had my first proposal. I supposed it would come some day but I certainly never thought it would be by proxy. It's awfully funny and yet there's a sting in it, too, somehow."
If he was only a collector by proxy he had, nevertheless, the collector's devotion to his curios, beside which the lioness' attachment to her cubs is tepid; and he was prepared to do anything to retain in his possession a scarab toward which he already entertained the feelings of a life proprietor.

Moreover, we use the word "present" very loosely; we say the present year, the present day, the present hour, the present minute, or the present second.
This works well both for the guests and for the hosts. The great event of the holiday week was a New Year Eve dance at the Country Club. Every member was expected to appear in person or by proxy, as this was the greatest of many functions of the year. Sunday was warm and sloppy, and little could be done out of doors.
"Ah! so that is the reason why she asked whether Jacqueline might not stay with her when we go to Italy! She wishes to court her by proxy. But I don't think she will succeed. Monsieur de Cymier has the best chance." "Do you suppose the child suspects " "That he admires her? My dear friend, we have to do with a very sharp sighted young person.
Many were the hard words and hard names bandied between them on these occasions, according to the captain's account. Each accused the other of endeavoring to assume unwarrantable power, and take the lead; upon which Mr. M'Dougal would vauntingly lay down Mr. Astor's letter, constituting him his representative and proxy, a document not to be disputed.
Those who asked him to dinner, or any other party, as a matter of course sent a carriage for him, and went personally or by proxy to fetch him; and as to letters, unless the address was in some female hand that commanded his affectionate esteem, he tossed them all into one general dead-letter bureau, and rarely, I believe, opened them at all.
