Usage examples of "ronda".

But the headwaitress and head maid, Ronda Ray, had a day-room on the second floor — to gather herself together, she’d said to Father.

It is hard to say what she smelled like, although — after we left Ronda — Franny tried.

I thought of Ronda Ray’s stockings, which she hung in the closet of her dayroom.

And on a very rainy morning, Ronda Ray stopped me on the second-floor landing.

Off the fire escape, at her end of the second floor, a pale green nightgown waved in the grey air: Ronda Ray must have been sleeping in the blue one this morning, or in the black one — or in the shocking-orange one.

It was the floor above Ronda Ray, and at the opposite end of the hall from her.

I pondered running a few laps, up and down the stairs — not necessarily for old times’ sake, but think­ing that this might be the most familiar way to wake Ronda up.

That prompted me to show her the nightgown I bought for Ronda Ray, and Franny promptly modelled it.

Naked, I was no longer as ‘chubby’ as I looked with my running clothes on — as Ronda Ray was always telling me.

Having seen Franny model it, I was anxious about how Ronda would ever cram herself into it.

Doris wore what­ever she wanted to — dresses that even Ronda Ray would have thought immodest.

There was a strange blowing sound, like the rushing of air, from 4A — at the opposite end of the hall from Max Urick’s static — but Franny said there was prob­ably a window open: Ronda Ray had made up that bed for Bitty Tuck, and the room had probably been stuffy.
