Does anyone have access to an original of the text? In my (abortive) reading last night I came across this passage in the Gutenberg text:
"But surely in England," said Mrs. Westgate, "the young ladies don't
call upon the young men?"

"Some of them do--almost!" Lady Pimlico declared.
"What the young men are a great parti."

"Bessie, you must make a note of that," said Mrs. Westgate.
"My sister," she added, "is a model traveler. She writes
down all the curious facts she hears in a little book she
keeps for the purpose."
Any idea how "What the young men are a great parti." is supposed to be concluded?

hi chris,

the text we are doing this for is actually an illustrated version from the UCal library... you can find the pdf here:
http://www.archive.org/details/50679871

and the text you are looking for on p163, which looks like this:
"But surely in England," said Mrs. Westgate, " the young ladies don't call upon the young men?"

"Some of them do - almost!" Lady Pimlico declared. " When the young men are a great parti"

" Bessie, you must make a note of that," said Mrs. Westgate. " My sister," she added, "is a model traveller. She writes down all the curious facts she hears in a little book she keeps for the purpose."
