名詞
commissionairess (複数形 commissionairesses)
- A female commissionaire.
- 1915 May 25, “Mr. Gossip”, “Echoes of the Town And Round About”, in Daily Sketch, number 1,937, London, page 5, column 2:
- The Commissionairess. Have you noticed how the women doorkeepers outside the big stores have already hit off exactly the pose of the old commissionaires? There is something about a doorkeeper unlike any other mortal—a certain Olympian, if polite, contempt of the ordinary shopping person, a congenital distrust of the lap dog. Woman, wonderful creature, has acquired all that in a week. She treads the pavement as though she had just bought it; she glances up at the shop windows, not with a woman’s usual acquisitive glance, but with a “still there, are you?” look. To see her blow her whistle is an education; to see her summon a motor is an event.
- 1915 December 3, conducted by “Egeria”, “Mainly for Women”, in Buenos Aires Herald: Illustrated Weekly Edition, number 594, Buenos Aires, section “Their Brothers’ Jobs”, page 14, columns 2–3:
- The Commissionairess. “My duties? Oh, light enough in a way, though they make you feel rather slow now and then. It doesn’t want much energy to whistle up a taxi, does it? “But the uniform! Just look at it! The skirt! Did you ever see such a cut? Why, it might have been made for my grandmother!” “And the hat! How could any girl with an oval face like mine look nice in a hat without a brim? “No, the work isn’t hard. But the uniform!”
- 1916 April 1, “Mr. Gossip”, “Echoes of the Town: Serbian And Greek Princes Here—Young Sailor Viscount—Who Buys Plovers’ Eggs?”, in Daily Sketch, number 2,204, London, section “A Job Requiring Nerve”, page 5, column 3:
- Every now and again some of the West End shops are seized with the craze of exhibiting lady commissionaires in fancy costume. After a time many of them disappear (the commissionairesses, not the shops), possibly because they cannot stand the curious and amused glances of passers-by or the impertinent “asides” of messenger boys. Yesterday I saw that another shop—in Regent-street—had started. A pretty girl dressed up in comic opera Hussar’s uniform was trying to look unconcerned.
- 1916 July 26, Claudine Cleve, “Women and the War”, in The Illustrated War News. Being a Pictorial Record of the Great War., volume 1, part 7, London: […] the Illustrated London News and Sketch, Ltd., […], page 34, column 1:
- SINCE women have taken a prominent part in all sorts of public services, life all round has become much more pleasant. The magistrate who made such complimentary remarks about the “conductorette” the other day was really expressing the general opinion about the “footwoman” and the van-woman, the lift-woman and the page-girl, the commissionairess in her smart braided uniform, and all those other “war workers” in unaccustomed professions who have now become an accepted fact of life.
- 1963, Sind Muslim College Magazine, page 19, column 1:
- An exceptionally whimsical fact about this Wooden Curtain is, that those who have once been granted the right to live behind it, can, by all means, at all times, come out of it—except on a few occasions when the gigantic and direful commissionairesses’, probably under instructions from the authorities, are guarding all approaches to the Free World: but the inhabitants of the ‘Free World’ cannot at any time, under any circumstances, enter the territory behind the Wooden Curtain.
- 1979, The Baker Street Journal, Fordham University Press, page 56:
