Examples

  • But the young gentleman remained behind with their stout admitter.

    No. 13 Washington Square Leroy Scott 1902

  • Whereas, ordinarily, the admitted guest sups with the admitter, here the divine guest becomes Himself the host, for He is the bread of life, and the Giver of the marriage feast.
