"As it happened, however, my son entered in the middle of this disgraceful " "It was at the beginning," said I, with a regretful sigh. Upon this and I have really never been so pleased at anything in all my life the Countess, the violence of her emotions penetrating to her very fingers, gripped the handle of her "starers" with such force that she broke it in two!
If their great-grandfathers were such redoubtable starers in the Doctor's day, his penance was no light one. This curiosity indicates a paucity of visitors to the little town, except for market purposes, and I question if Uttoxeter ever saw an American before.
She had seen the same hustling and whispering and staring in the hall at the opera, when she was waiting for her carriage; but she chose to affect unconsciousness. 'What do they all want? 'I think they want to see you, said Mr. Smithson, who was sitting by her side. 'A very natural desire. Lesbia laughed, and lowered the big yellow sunshade, so as to hide herself altogether from the starers.
While we suffer our Women to be thus impudently attacked, they have no Defence, but in the End to cast yielding Glances at the Starers: And in this Case, a Man who has no Sense of Shame has the same Advantage over his Mistress, as he who has no Regard for his own Life has over his Adversary.
A bright drop of water In the gold tire Of a sun's daughter Was laughing to her sire; And from all the flowers about, That never toiled or spun, The soul of each looked out, Clear laughing to the sun.

Lola Brandt liked it; but I didn't, especially when I recognised one of the starers as the eldest Drascombe-Prynne boy whose people in Paris are receiving Eleanor Faversham under their protection. A nice reputation I shall be acquiring. My companion was in gay mood.
The best and most successful Starers now in this Town are of that Nation: They have usually the Advantage of the Stature mentioned in the above Letter of my Correspondent, and generally take their Stands in the Eye of Women of Fortune; insomuch that I have known one of them, three Months after he came from Plough, with a tolerable good Air lead out a Woman from a Play, which one of our own Breed, after four years at Oxford and two at the Temple, would have been afraid to look at.
I felt very nervous. A pause followed. Then the Countess observed and it seemed at first rather irrelevant "I've been reading an unpleasant story." "Contained in a friend's letter," she continued, focusing the "starers" full on my face. I did not know what to do, so I bowed again. "It must have been as painful for her to write as for me to read," Lady Mickleham went on. "And that is saying much.
Alas, I had but the one feeling: that I had sacrificed my sick friend to the fear of prison-cells and stupid starers. And no moralist has yet advanced so far as to number cowardice amongst the things that are their own reward.
It must have been the funniest thing to see, and what knocked me silly, this time no one laughed; only one old woman gave a kind of pious moan, the way you have heard Dissenters in their chapels at the sermon. “I never saw such fools of Kanakas as your people here,” I said once to Uma, glancing out of the window at the starers.
