"Well, it would be that you dine at the table d'hote, like the traveller for whom this coach, already harnessed, is waiting. The dinner is excellent and all served."
If the ring is not complete before he gets through the rhyme, he is free to seize any boy who is not holding the hands, on either side, of two other boys. If the ring is formed and no sheep captured, the sheep circle about the wolf, chanting this song: "Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! with the brown ear, Tell us what hour you dine On one of the sheep assembled here!" The wolf selects his own hour.
As we lived in a quarter of the town very distant from each other, we all assembled once a week at the Palais Royal, and went to dine at the Hotel du Panier Fleuri. These little weekly dinners must have been extremely pleasing to Diderot; for he who failed in almost all his appointments never missed one of these.
Once in a "blue moon" Phil and I are invited by some one to dine at the Carlton or the Savoy, or at houses where the dinners are long and elaborate; but memories of those dinners pale before the reality of this at the Villa van Buren, in a handsome, shut-up dining-room.
It was soon after mid-day that the doctor proposed that the boat should be run ashore and that they should land to dine at a lovely park-like opening where the dense portion of the forest had receded farther from the bank; but the Spaniard shook his head. "No," he said, "don't do that. It looks very nice, but it isn't safe.
The crew dine at one o'clock, the officers at 2:30. The latter go for a walk or rehearse theatricals. Going out, the air smells like green walnuts, says Doctor Moss. The walk, unless there is a moon, is taken up and down a beaten track, in the dark, half a mile long. Then dinner, and when the cloth is off the white cat seats herself on the table.
And she pinched my arm. I glanced within the table with its lace and silver under the glow of the red candle-shades was laid for two. "It was nice of you," I said. "We shall dine alone, you and I," she murmured. "I am so tired of company." I was on the point of impulsively mentioning poor Tanrade's absence, but the subtle look in her eyes checked me.
One day Sir Charles and Lady Bassett were invited to dine and sleep at Mr. Hardwicke's, distance fifteen miles; they went, and found Richard Bassett dining there, by Mrs. Hardwicke's invitation, who was one of those ninnies that fling guests together with no discrimination. Richard had expected this to happen sooner or later, so he was comparatively prepared, and bowed stiffly to Sir Charles.
He was to dine at the club and go to the theatre, and had no time to lose. Therese returned home on foot. Opposite the Trocadero she remembered what the old flower-woman had said: "One can see that you are young." The words came back to her with a significance not immoral but sad. "One can see that you are young!" Yes, she was young, she was loved, and she was bored to death.
Cabarreux with a steady income would be a dead weight which Bel might manage to shove along through the world; but Cabarreux with nothing is a millstone which would grind her to powder. I'd made up my mind to send her away next week. But if you think " "Stay in town until we hear. The will's to be read to-night. Come and dine with me: the madam has corned beef and succotash to-day."
