Ladies sometimes pull caps for such charming individuals, as we have seen in the case of Mrs.Follingsbee and Lillie.
For it is not to be supposed that Mrs.Follingsbee, though she had assumed the gushing style with her young friend, wanted spirit or perception on her part.

Her darling Lillie had left a nettle in her bosom which rankled there.
"The vanity of these thin, light, watery blondes!" she said to herself, as she looked into her own great dark eyes in the mirror,--"thinking Charlie Ferrola cares for her! I know just what he thinks of _her_, thank heaven! Poor thing! Don't you think Mrs.John Seymour has gone off astonishingly since her marriage ?" she said to Therese.
"_Mon Dieu, madame, q'oui_," said the obedient tire-woman, scraping the very back of her throat in her zeal.

"Madame Seymour has the real American _maigreur_.

These thin women, madame, they have no substance; there is noting to them.

For young girl, they are charming; but, as woman, they are just noting at all.
