There was all day long a competition of dudes and elderly widowers and bachelors to wait on her. The charming little heiress accepted all the attentions with most engaging sweetness. Say what you will, men have good hearts. Yes, they were going to Newport.
Our American men understand this attitude of our girls, and half of them respect it, without being forced to, as the other half can be, if woman so wills.

She came at last to talk about you quite differently, quite understanding " Vivie: "That's what all widowers say.

Ladies of the family attend the funeral of a relative if they are able to do so, and wear their deepest mourning.
