Sometimes, but not often for it is de rigueur that entertainments of this species shall be severely classic we have a phenomenon of execution upon some out-of-the-way instrument, who performs certain miracles with springs or tubes, and in some degree wakens up the company, who, however, not unfrequently relapse into all their solemn primness, under a concerto manuscript, or a trio manuscript, the composition of the bénéficiaire.
But, magnificent and euphonious as an earldom is, the children of an earl are the half-castes of the peerage. The eldest son is "my lord," and his sisters are "my lady;" and ever since the days of Mr. Foker, Senior, it has been de rigueur for an opulent brewer to marry an earl's daughter; but the younger sons are not distinguishable from the ignominious progeny of viscounts and barons.
We spent the afternoon in trying to learn to snore, but we were not certain about it, and in the end concluded that as snoring was not de rigueur we had better dispense with it. We were put to bed; the light was taken away; we were told to go to sleep, and promised faithfully that we would do so; the tongue indeed swore, but the mind was unsworn.
The waiter, who had enormously thick mustaches, and who evidently shaved in the evening instead of in the morning, was going out at the farther door. He shut it rather loudly. "Every one makes a noise in Pera. It's de rigueur," said Mrs. Clarke, coming to the tea-table. "Do you know," said Dion, "I used to think you looked punished?" "Punished I!"
Thus admonished, I went to work with a will to get into my dress clothes for those were the days when such garments were de rigueur aboard all liners of any pretensions and was quite ready to make my way to the saloon when the second and final summons to dinner pealed forth.
When Gogin and I were taking our Easter holiday this year we went, among other places, to Ypres. We put up at the Hotel Tete d'Or and found it exquisitely clean, comfortable and cheap, with a charming old-world, last-century feeling. It was Good Friday, and we were to dine maigre; this was so clearly de rigueur that we did not venture even the feeblest protest.
The men are almost without exception in blouses some white, some black, some in the newest stages of shiny blue gingham, some faded with long wearing and frequent washing. Caps and soft hats are universal: a tall hat is nowhere to be seen a fact which is much more significant in Paris than it would be in America, for in Paris the tall hat is almost de rigueur among the better classes.
"Certainement" cried the delighted Mademoiselle Viefville; "c'est de rigueur, même" "And it is de rigueur, here, Mademoiselle, for young ladies to keep out of them," put in John Effingham. "I should be very sorry to see either of you three ladies in the streets of Templeton to-day." Why so, cousin Jack? Have we any thing to fear from the rudeness of our countrymen?
The dotted rhythmical motive alluded to by Sowinski is this, or similar to this But the dotted notes are by no means de rigueur. As motives like the following are of frequent occurrence, I would propose a more comprehensive definition namely, that the first part of the bar consists mostly of quicker notes than the latter part. Several others, however, exist.
He had a nose like a parrot's beak, and his eyes were blue, kindly, and wise in their straightforwardness. When he would render his costume absolutely de rigueur, he wore a leathern jacket with manifold pockets, from one to another of which trailed a gold watch-chain with a dangling horseshoe charm.
