Everything from a toothbrush to a cake of soap might be cited before a jury, but not a human being if his skin happened to be black. Mr. George D. Prentice and Mr. To my mind this was monstrous. From my cradle I had detested slavery. The North will never know how many people at the South did so.
Everybody in the Quarter, except a few dolls not in earnest, bought everything at the Bon Marché, because the Bon Marché was so comprehensive and so reliable. If you desired a toothbrush, the Bon Marché not only supplied it, but delivered it in a 30-h.p. motor-van manned by two officials in uniform.

"Look here," said he, "what are we to do I haven't even a night-suit of pyjamas. I haven't even a toothbrush. No hotel will take us in." "We don't want an hotel," said Venetia, "we'll come back straight if we can save Teresa. If not, if she insists in pursuing her mad course, you had better not come back at all.
