  2. A quotation from Judith Martin

       DEAR MISS MANNERS: When does a gentleman offer his arm to a lady as they are walking down the street together?
     
       GENTLE READER: Strictly speaking, only when he can be practical assistance to her. That is, when the way is steep, dark, crowded, or puddle-y. However, it is rather a cozy juxtaposition, less compromising than walking hand in hand, and rather enjoyable for people who are fond of each other, so Miss Manners allows some leeway in interpreting what is of practical assistance. One wouldn’t want a lady to feel unloved walking down the street, any more than one would want her to fall off the curb.

    Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
    “Miss Manners,” syndicated column (1979-04-19)

  3. Here's the last few lines from -
    A #Sprig of #Rosemary by Julia Schayer (1899):

    She had waited in the station until she was "all het up" and left her #Palm-#Leaf fan on the #Train, & wondered If the plants would come up again, & asked how #Lucille was, etc.

    Meantime the man had picked up the #Black #Satchel & the #Basket & hustled #Aunt Abby good-naturedly into the #car & the two were gone.

    And the sprig of rosemary lay #Forgotten on the #Floor under the old #Gentleman's feet.
