Word Entry "The Jewelry"

1. "Her lady-friends (she was acquainted with the wives of several small office holders) were always bringing her tickets for the theaters; whenever there was a performance that made a sensation, she always had her loge secured, even for first performances; and she would drag her husband with her to all these entertainments, which used to tire him horribly after his day's work."

2. This word gave me difficulty in adding some meaning to it, despite an attempt at the use of the context. The word "secured" seems to hint that the word has to do with something perhaps being ready at her command to go out.

3. Loge - a small compartment, a box in a theater. (Merriam-Webster's Dictionary)

4. After finding the correct definition of the word, I can understand that the sentence expresses that she had a certain place in the theater that could have been hers and was always ready for her when she wanted to go.
