I saw that Madame Sable's eyes were growing heavy, her mouth twitched, and her bosom heaved, and at the end of ten minutes she was asleep. "Go behind her," the doctor said to me; so I took a seat behind her. He put a visiting-card into her hands, and said to her: "This is a looking-glass; what do you see in it?" She replied: "I see my cousin." "What is he doing?" "He is twisting his mustache."
Moreover, those classes of the reserves of the territorial army called up when the general mobilization order was issued and for some unaccountable reason actually sent home again, have also been recalled. In broad daylight, at 1.15 this afternoon, the Germans left their first visiting-card in Paris.
At this season native officials as well as merchants are in the habit of making presents indicative of good-will to those foreigners with whom they have business relations. Your boy brings in a bright red visiting-card eight inches by three, coming from an official who begs you will deign to accept his best wishes for the New Year, together with a few trifling presents.
"And I may wait for an answer?" "Yes." Duncombe scribbled a few lines on the back of a visiting-card. The Marquise took it from him and rose. "I will return," she said. "You shall be entirely satisfied." She left him alone for nearly ten minutes. She had scarcely left the room when another visitor entered.
"This time, instead of staying in a cabin, the god of poetry has descended to a tavern. Have you not established your general headquarters at La Fauconnerie?" "How did you know that?" "By the singular visiting-card that you drew in La Mode. Do I not know your coat-of-arms? An expressive one, as my aunt would say."
The governor declined the cigars graciously, ignored the hoped-for pleasure of another meeting, and trusted that it might fall to his lot to visit Australia some day. Thereupon the bookmaker insisted on the aide-de-camp accepting the cigar-case, and gave him his visiting-card.
She knew the very tones in which he would address her. She was only unprepared for an example of her own visiting-card. "You wouldn't remember giving me this, Miss Schlegel?" said he, uneasily familiar. "No; I can't say I do." "Well, that was how it happened, you see." "Where did we meet, Mr. Bast? For the minute I don't remember." "It was a concert at the Queen's Hall.
The rules in regard to titles are simple and brief. A woman's name should never appear on a visiting-card without either "Mrs." or "Miss" prefixed. The exception would be in the case of women who have regularly graduated in theology or medicine. Such are entitled, like their brothers, to prefix "Rev." or "Dr." to their names.
In such households often the guest is met at the door by a member of the family, possibly the hostess herself. The use of a visiting-card then is plainly incongruous, not to say absurd.
She was then between twenty and thirty years of age, slight of figure, winsome in her bearing, and one who knew the arts which appeal to men. For she was no inexperienced ingenue. The name upon her visiting-card was "Mme. Drouet"; and by this name she had been known in Paris as a clever and somewhat gifted actress.
