I knew that before. Vicky Van, living alone and unchaperoned, save for the ubiquitous Julie, flouted convention in many ways, but it was as she said, her inviolable rule to receive no married man without his wife at her parties. Nor was there often occasion for her to use this stipulation.
"I met you first, then, never mind exactly how long ago, on the steamer coming from America. You were quite alone, unescorted, and unchaperoned. That in itself, as of course you know, was a very remarkable thing. Nevertheless, I think you will admit that it did not terrify me. We became well, pretty good friends, didn't we?" "I think we did," she admitted.
Visions of possible anglers and unchaperoned river flirtations disturbed his mind; but eventually he satisfied himself, by requiring Miss Prosody to be always of the party, who followed with the children and a boatman in a flat-bottomed tub. On one of these occasions they had been pulling about the beautiful bends of the river.
But it was lively in the cafe, in spite of the waning season. A good many of the tables were occupied.

He was very sorry for me, as he saw my cheeks flaming, but he felt it right that I should be aware.
Besides, there was an exciting feeling of independence in strolling about unchaperoned in a shop as big as a village, in a strange foreign city.
At the last minute, Aunt Pattie Boyden fortunately contracted a toothache and the Coney Island party was compelled to go unchaperoned. They tried to be regretful and sympathetic as the six of them climbed into the big touring car, but Ashley Loring found them a solace. "Never you mind," he soothed them "Polly will chaperon us."
He saw you here with me saw us sitting together alone, having dinner me unchaperoned, a runaway! Isn't it delicious?" Julien looked after his companion's elderly relative with a smile. "I wonder," he remarked, "whether your uncle's magnificent unconsciousness is due to defective eyesight or nerve?" "Nerve, without a doubt," she insisted. "We all have it.
Ismailiah is no place for a beautiful English girl to wander in unchaperoned, especially when out of respect to the slenderness of her purse she gets off the beaten track in search of a cheap restaurant.
