"I wouldn't have come here this summer if I could have got out of it," he said, gloomily. "It's my third year, and the place gets worse every season. These people are so stuck-up there's no approaching them for news. Even Lancaster, who has a sort of entrée because he is connected with a swagger family, admits that it's as much as his life is worth to get anything out of them.

The acquaintance with the Wesendoncks was the means of giving me the entree to a delightful home, which in point of comfort was a great contrast to the usual run of houses in Zurich.

Omhal Henna quickly escaped; she had overstepped the line, and I saw her no more." On Wednesday the 30th October, they made their entree into Mourzouk, with all the parade and show that they could muster.

The three hundred thousand were now in the bank to his credit and he could weather the coming storm easily perhaps with profit. In a tone half amused, half serious, he told her of the little millionaire's desire to secure entrée into good society for his three nieces. Diana laughed with her lips; her eyes never laughed.

He apparently had plenty of money, and had the entree of the best houses in the city, taking care, however, I suppose, to drive no bargains within the enchanted circle of the Upper Ten.

But for the implements of gaming there is little to distinguish the room from a first-class club-house.

"You will see no end of changes at the old place, Miss Vernon; I would give something to see your face as you make your entree. I should, in that case, see as many changes as yourself.
