"MY DEAR FRED: "Your mother thinks you would be pleased to receive a letter from me, and I hope you will be. You need not answer this if you do not care to do so. You will notice, 'par parenthese', that I take this opportunity of saying you and not thou to you.
To avoid possible misunderstanding it may be mentioned par parenthèse that there is another and entirely evil sense sometimes attached in the books to this phrase of "becoming a god," but in that form it certainly could never be any kind of "temptation" to the developed man, and in any case it is altogether foreign to our present subject.
She opened her work basket, and began to crochet vigorously, keeping her eyes upon her needle. "Neither.

Kate heard him singing, over and over again, a verse from an old song which he had brought with him from the land o' cakes: Wooing any lass would, just now, have been quite as secondary an affair with the singer as in the song, a something par parenthèse. But, alas! Ben's face was more dubious the next day, and before the week was over it was yard-long.
He pushed his chair noisily back, and we all rose. "'You won't wait for coffee? said our host. 'Just as you please. He touched the call-button, and Jarman entered to help us on with our top-coats.
