Were there an actual army at or near Washington, I could be withdrawn from the most unpleasant attitude of a "go-between," but there is no army there, nor any military duties which you with a host of subordinates can not perform. Therefore I would be there with naked, informal, and sinecure duties, and utterly out of place.
"But you don't mean to tell us," said J.W., incredulously, "that you can drop in on a place like Delafield, make up your mind what is needed, and then dump a lot of money into a played-out church, just like that?" "Oh, it's not so informal as all that," Conover said, "The thing has to go through the official channels, of course.
Such an entertainment enables one to receive a great many at a time, without crowding, and, being in its very idea rustic and informal, can be arranged with very little expense or trouble. With the addition of lanterns in the trees and a little music, this entertainment may be carried on far into the evening with a very pretty effect. "As to dancing, I have this much to say of it.
I propose, in what follows, to press them on the reader's attention in an informal way. The first point to agree upon in this enterprise is that as a rule men habitually use only a small part of the powers which they actually possess and which they might use under appropriate conditions.

Soon Josie came after him, and Jim dropped in, as he was quite in the habit of doing, making one of those casual and informal little companies which constituted a most distinctive feature of life in our compact little Belgravia.

Rousseau was moved with pity for a maid defenceless against a ribald storm, and from pity he advanced to some warmer sentiment, and he and Theresa Le Vasseur took each other for better for worse, in a way informal but sufficiently effective. This was the beginning of a union which lasted for the length of a generation and more, down to the day of Rousseau's most tragical ending.
Almost as soon as he had thought of consulting Mark, he proposed the notion to Rose, who was enthusiastic in its support. It is not necessary to give his letter to Father Molyneux, which had to be long and careful, and was written after consultation with Mr. Murray. Mr. Murray was quite in favour of an informal interview, and disposed to agree in the choice of Father Molyneux as ambassador.
In this informal way the "Captain Gething Search Company" was founded, and the syndicate, thinking that they had a good thing, began to hold aloof from their fellows, and to confer darkly in remote corners. They expended a shilling on a popular detective story entitled, "On the Trail," and an element of adventure was imported into their lives which brightened them considerably.
She's not very pretty, and doesn't like men, but she's cheerful when she's expected to be. You sha'n't care, shall you?" "Yes, I shall care," I growled, "but I'll do it if you don't mind my not dressing. I haven't a black suit to my name." "Oh, that doesn't matter. Very informal, you know." The motor was already buzzing in the driveway and he wasted little time over his eggs.
