He is a dear old man, though he has such awful eyes.
"At the green-table don't you remember?" "Yes, I remember every hour of that day; we had lunch at the 'Roebuck." "You haven't spoken of the lady we saw there. Lady Something I forget what you said her name was; you said she had been making up to you." "I dined with her one night, and we went to the theatre." "You may do that without it being said that you are making up to a gentleman."
The girls were laughing by that time. "You goose," said one, "why didn't you give him the money, and save your lunch?" "He was such a little fellow, and he really was hungry," said Elnora. "I often go without anything to eat at noon in the fields and woods, and never think of it." She closed the box and set it beside the lunches of other country pupils.

Some of them were already broken, so that they had nothing to do but sit down to lunch. "Here is one," said Kathy, handing a nut to Nigel, "that has got no meat yet in it only milk. Bore a hole in it and drink, but see you bore in the right hole."
Bob Sawyer at once hurried into the house to superintend the arrangements; in less than five minutes he returned and declared them to be excellent.

I've already said good-bye to Madam, and I'm going to slip out without speaking to another soul." "You'll have to speak to Hawkins," said Betty.
