general, irrespective of nationality or
denomination

Louisa Mebbin a few days after the ball.
 
(iv) Louisa Mebbin's pretty week-end cottage, christened by her "Les Fauves,"
and gay in summer-time with its garden
borders of tiger-lilies, is the wonder and
admiration of her friends
 
Loona Bimberton (i) As for Loona Bimberton, she refused to look at an illustrated paper for weeks,
and her letter of thanks for the gift of a
tiger-claw brooch was a model of
repressed emotions
 
(ii) There are limits beyond which repressed emotions become dangerous.
