Examples
-
Dinner was by this time finished; for no slummery would Miss Barbara taste; the table cleared; fruit and wine set on, and the servants going out, when the dowager lady took upon her to criticise Mrs. Lawson's address to her darling.
-
Near Miss Lewis stood some lemon slummery, which I could not help observing was particularly pleasant;
-
You say, madam, that Miss — I protest I forget her name — meant a civility, when she offered to serve Miss Barbara Tupps with some of that slummery, which, to be sure, was very nice.
-
Mrs. Lawson, greatly hurt upon the occasion, and concerned for her innocent young friend, told this “honorable Miss Barbara Tupps,” that she would answer for it, Miss Lewis was very far from intending the least incivility; on the contrary, she evidently wished to oblige her, by helping her to some of the slummery which her friends had been so kind as to recommend.
