Excerpt from The Counsels of a Worldly Godmother My dear Goddaughter: - I went to a ball last night, and as I sat watching the dancing with one of the friends of my far-off bud-days, she began to speak of the time when we had just come out, and of the balls of that first year. Among other things she spoke of how different things are now, and wondered what had become of the row of dowagers we used to see sitting along the walls. "Isn't it strange, " she concluded, "that they should have disappeared so entirely?" Then her husband, who happened to be with us, laughed in the most unfeelingly masculine manner. "You evidently don't realize, " he returned, "that you are the dowagers sitting along the walls." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
