Excerpt from Recollections of a Chaperon, Vol. 1 of 3
Accordingly, when I had mounted my fea thered hat and black velvet gown, or my white satin gown and flowered cap, as the occasion might require, and patiently taken my station upon the chair, seat, or bench which I could most conveniently appropriate to myself, I beguiled the weary hours by studying those around me, trusting for the rest to chance, and to the principles which I had endea voured to impress upon the minds of my girls; viz. Not to flirt so as to attract atten tion, - not to think too highly of their own pretensions, - and above all, not to be betrayed into laughing at any man before they knew him, by which means more than one girl of my acquaintance has been obliged, for cousis tency's sake, to repulse a person whom, upon further acquaintance, she might have sincerely~ preferred.
