And when the music has once more ceased, you should ask your partner if she would not care to take a jaunt in the open air. "I know a lovely walk," you should say, "across a quaint old bridge." The rest is, of course, easy.
Why, I've almost forgot how it looks, and this is the best time of the year. It would do us both good to take a little jaunt every day in the cool of the evening. We used to go out that way just before we was married, and for a while afterward, and I want to do it again. We've got wrong, somehow. We are not living like we ought to.
In California, Orange Day is next in importance to Washington's Birthday and the Fourth of July. I shall never forget our first experience of its charms. We were motoring, taking a last jaunt in an old machine which we had just sold for more than we ever had expected to get for it.
"Monday morning early," laughed Dave. "And this is late Saturday afternoon." Dan Dalzell was not in his usually jovial spirits. His heart was as much set on going as was Dick's, but Dan now felt that the pleasure jaunt was simply impossible. "Let's meet on Main Street after supper," Dick proposed. "Perhaps by that time we'll have found an idea or two."
I prefer you to frame some pretty imaginings to bore you on our pleasure jaunt with my own; and here we are at our English Frascati, Richmond the enchanting. Have you ever sunned yourself in Italy, fair madame?" "No, nor should I care to; the Italian is too lazy, too dreamy for me." "Then you cannot enter into the spirit of Thompson's 'Castle of Indolence?"
"Well, I think you are about the poorest 'and at a yarn!" cried the clerk. "Crikey, it's like 'Ministering Children! I can tell you there would be more beer and skittles about my little jaunt. I would go and have a B.-and-S. for luck. Then I would get a big ulster with astrakhan fur, and take my cane and do the la-de-da down Piccadilly.
He was going in search of a band of Indians of whom no information had been received since last October, and his only guide for finding them was their promise to hunt in a certain quarter; but he looked at the jaunt with indifference and calculated on meeting them in six or seven days, for which time only he had provision.
In 1870 the Indian unrest known as the First Riel Rebellion had occurred, but this amounted to little more than a joy jaunt for the troops under Lord Wolseley to Red River.
Even mamma affected interest in her spouse's explanations of how it all happened. "Of course the caddy simply slipped the balls in his pockets the minute your back was turned they're all thieves, the little ragamuffins," said she. "And, by the way, I haven't telephoned the bank about the silver." Encouraged by his ladies' consideration, Mr. Heth proposed a little afternoon jaunt with Cally.
Madame Sendel at first showed an evident hankering after a preliminary jaunt to Amsterdam and a gay wedding, graced by the presence of the bridegroom's numerous and wealthy family. She also testified some anxiety as to the view Van Haubitz Senior might take of his son's matrimonial project, and as to how far he might approve of a hasty and unceremonious wedding.
