For after a moment of consideration it was decided not to use up all the food that remained. "We may need some for luncheon," explained Russ, who seemed to have taken command of the little party. "We may not be able to reach the steamer by noon." "Do you think we'll ever be able to reach it, old man?" asked Paul, in a low voice. "Oh, sure.
He gently glided from business into general topics; knew all about my career, congratulated me on some recent success, remembered some of my belongings, inquired about my school and college, was interested to find that, like himself, I had been at Harrow and Oxford, and, after an hour's pleasant chat, said, "Now you must stay and have some luncheon."
No, on second thoughts, I won't wait for the inevitable compliment. Arthur, hold your tongue and I will tell you something. That must be the new boat, the Garth Castle, and I want to see over her. Captain Smithson, who is bringing her out, has got a box of things for me. What do you say if we kill two birds with one stone, go and see the vessel and get our luncheon on board."
And I helped her to some from the dumb-waiter and uncorked the very last bottle of the ninety-three left in the case. "And as for this storm of which you speak, ladies," I added as I poured, "I would there might come every day as ill a wind if it would blow me as great a good as yourselves for luncheon." "Yes," said L'Olonnois brightly, "you might blow in once in a while an' see us fellers.
"And I had beer for luncheon, and I'm going to have champagne for dinner." "Maggie, how do you dare? Did they did they taste good?" "They tasted heavenly, Lorania. Pass me the candy.

As soon as luncheon was finished they rushed for the deck, and you may imagine that chubby little Uncle John, with his rosy, smiling face and kindly eyes, surrounded by three eager and attractive girls of from fifteen to seventeen years of age, was a sight to compel the attention of every passenger aboard the ship.
Directly below at the foot of the yellow cliff, and in strong contrast to it, was the white marble temple of Der-al-bahri. And not far from the temple was a cottage, which at once became interesting to the tired party when the guide, pointing to it, said: "That is the rest-house. A good luncheon will be ready on the tables when you arrive there."
Wednesday, the 29th, the papers began to talk of "a tension in the political relations between France and Germany" which, however, did not quench the gaiety of a picnic luncheon in the grove by our river. In the afternoon the old garde-champetre asked for H. in the courtyard. "In case of mobilization," said he, "you have three horses and your farm cart to present to the authorities.
"I think I shall drive," Mrs. Lessing replied; "but if Mr. Graham is coming to luncheon, perhaps he will walk round with Hilda. Will you, Mr. Graham?" "With pleasure," said Peter. "I agree with Miss Lessing, and the walk will be jolly. We'll go through the park. It's less than half an hour, isn't it?" It was arranged at that, and the elders drove off.
But I used to find the old-fashioned flowers, that the gardeners grumbled least over my plucking, were the most welcome.
