Miss Ryan asked Mrs.
She was ridiculing me on the morning of the day she left, when we were gathered round the drawing-room fire just before luncheon. I could not well make my escape, so bore it as quietly as I could; but to my surprise Kenneth turned upon her. 'Now look here, Florence, he said, 'you have had it all your own way since Goody made you lose your bet; don't you think you can part from her in peace?
It was several minutes before she returned, her radiant face registered the news that the long-looked-for express package had materialized. "At last!" was her jubilant cry when half way across the lawn. "No more work for me until after luncheon. Come up to the house, both of you. The grand try-on is about to begin.

Her Majesty told me to ask Miss Carl whether she was tired and would like to rest; also to tell her that she was very busy all the day, and would only be able to give her a few minutes' sitting each day. We then took Miss Carl to luncheon, together with Mrs. Conger, and after luncheon we accompanied Her Majesty to the theatre. After Mrs. Conger had departed I took Miss Carl to my room to rest.

He's done as well as he could but he's made a fine mess of it the poor child! Thinking Miss Octavia would be here not knowing so much as a new-born kitten that's as much sense as she has as a little new-born kitten!" And she hurried back with a delectable luncheon on a tray. Outside the sun had hid itself and the fickle spring clouds were dripping over the desolate garden.
He evidently did not recognize Van Bibber, and the clubman gave him a half-dollar and walked away, feeling that the man must surely have enough by this time with which to get something to eat, if only a luncheon.
