Smith mentioned the name of a well-known writer of trashy fiction and added, "Didn't you never read none of her books?" My negative surprised her. Then Phoebe asked: "Did you ever read 'Daphne Vernon; or, A Coronet of Shame'?" "No, I haven't read them, either," I replied. "Oh, mama! Carry me out and let me die!" groaned Mrs.
Wherever you look now-a-days there's sham and rottenness; but the most worthless creature living is one of these trashy, flashy girls, the kind of girl you see everywhere, high and low, calling themselves "ladies," thinking themselves too good for any honest, womanly work. Town and country, it's all the same. They're educated; oh yes, they're educated!
Did you go out to-day? No?" His eyebrows contract here, and I know he says inwardly, "Reading some trashy novel, I suppose." However, he grins, and obligingly relates how the police have captured Cockatoo Bill, the noted bushranger. After dinner the disciplinarian and I converse of dogs and horses, gamecocks, convicts, and moving accidents by flood and field.
Edgeworth and Charlotte Elizabeth's stories are in the novel form." "But they have a high moral. And there are so many histories for young people to read. They ought to have the real truth instead of silly make-believes and trashy love stories." "There are some histories that would be rather terrible reading for young minds," said John. "I think I'll bring you two or three, Aunt Nancy."
He preached with much gesticulation, emphasis, and grimace the most utterly trashy sermon I ever heard; words words words without the shadow of an idea in them."
The flesh was willing, but the spirit was weak. Among Chadwick's songs is a volume of Breton melodies harmonized with extreme simplicity. Others are "Gay Little Dandelion," which is good enough of its everlasting flower-song sort; "In Bygone Days" and "Request," which, aside from one or two flecks of art, are trashy; and two childish namby-pambies, "Adelaide" and "The Mill."
Of course, he thinks we have a servant, and then you make me so sad. I couldn't sleep last night, because I knew you were drinking. I heard you when we went to bed playing trashy things that you hate except when you are not yourself. It makes me ill to think that you have been with us all these years, and been so kind to me, and now are come to this. Oh, do not do it!
Where there is one woman who writes from necessity, we believe there are three women who write from vanity; and besides, there is something so antispetic in the mere healthy fact of working for one’s bread, that the most trashy and rotten kind of feminine literature is not likely to have been produced under such circumstances. “In all labor there is profit;” but ladies’ silly novels, we imagine, are less the result of labor than of busy idleness.
Instead of getting her stage experience in France, Susan joined a London company making one of those dreary, weary, cheap and trashy tours of the smaller cities of the provinces with half a dozen plays by Jones, Pinero, and Shaw. Clélie stayed in London, toiling at the language, determined to be ready to take the small part of French maid in Brent's play in the fall.
Some grow up and take their places as full-blown salesladies, and begin to sigh for the gayety of the streets, for freedom from restraint, and for amusements that are not within their reach. Naturally au fait in style, with taste and clever fingers, they dress in an attractive manner, with the hope of beguiling the ideal hero they have constructed from the pages of the trashy story paper.
