From Book:
Some of the ladies had their little peculiarities also. There was Mrs.
Galley-West from North Fifth Avenue, New York, a "widow-lady," whose
name went up on the social electric-light sign when she began to ride
home in a limousine. She stated that everybody who was anybody in that
great city knew who _she_ was and all about her. Nobody disputed her
statements. As time elapsed she became very confidential, and one day
stated that she was matrimonially inclined and intimated that she would
welcome an introduction to an aged millionaire in delicate health, as
it might result in her being able to carry out some ambitious plans she
had made in "philomathy." By the time we reached Cairo she had lowered
her figures to a very modest amount--but she is still a widow.
