'...Ill-natured he friends have christened the three Miss Coxes "Free and Easy," "Freer and Easier," "Freest and Easiest;" Violet is "Freest and Easiest." Violet smokes Regalias, and calls men by their surnames to their faces. Lily smokes cigarettes, and Amaryllis does not smoke at all, because it makes her sick.'
from Cometh Up as a Flower by Rhoda Broughton (Chapter XXVI)
