"My, I should feel lost in a palace like that!" she cried, as we gazed at the Marquis of So-and-So's country-seat. "Well, of course we should have to modify it," I admitted. "Perhaps perhaps our family will be larger." She put her hand on my lips, and blushed a fiery red....
"Why do you waste your time in talking politics when you have never told me a word about so-and-so's wedding?" She occasionally read the "Court Circular," and was rather fond of one or two of the "society" papers from which she used to glean choice little paragraphs of personal gossip. Once one of these papers gave Erica an uncomfortable experience.
You know at least, I know in my own case when a man has said to me, 'So-and-so's a pretty girl, I am seized with a momentary sourness against So-and-so, and long to tweak her ear. It's a tiresome feeling, but not an important one, and one easily manages it. But it wasn't only this in Mr. Wilcox's case, I gather now." "Then you love him?" Margaret considered.
I said one day to Senator Frye: "There will be a notable gathering at So-and-So's dinner to-night. Are you going?" He answered: "Yes, I will be there; but it has been my lot to escort to dinner this lady" naming her "thirteen times this winter. She has told me thirteen times the story of her courtship.
And how readily and pleasantly may this be done! I will take upon myself, for instance, to write an eulogium upon So-and-So's last novel, which shall be every word of it true; and which work, though to some discontented spirits it might appear dull, may be shown to be really amusing and instructive, nay, IS amusing and instructive, to those who have the art of discovering where those precious qualities lie.
So, says he, 'land so, says he, 'Sterling Price will be here, and Steele here, and this column will take that road, and so-and-so's a damned fool. Is not that crazy? So he walks up and down for three eternal hours. Says he, 'Pope has no business to be at Osterville, and Steele here at Sedalia with his regiments all over the place.
"Can't you take Ruth to-night " or "I wish you'd meet her at the ferry," or "if you are going to that dinner in New York, at so-and-so's, would you mind calling for her " etc., etc. Don't start, dear reader. These two came of a breed where the night key and the daughter go together and where a chaperon would be as useless as a policeman locked inside a bank vault.
Being so much alone probably made me restless and uneasy, though I never felt afraid. I mentioned this strange thing to a friend who had known and liked my father-in-law, and she advised me to 'have his soul laid, as she termed it. So-and-so's soul. A few days later a beggar-woman and her children came to the door, to whom I gave a coin and stated my desire.
Maurice, closing its double doors, and shutting himself into the tiny box where the fetid air seemed to take him by the throat and the space was so narrow he could hardly crowd his long legs into it, rushed into another delay. Wrong number! ... When at last he got the right number and the hospital, there were the usual deliberate questions; and the, "I'll connect you with So-and-so's desk."
To begin with, the withered and corrupt dead will have to be excavated from the cellars, and when that day comes those will be present who can say: "This skeleton was So-and-So's child," "That must have been my mother." Terrific hours await Ypres.
