To reach the dining hall they had to cross the baseball field, abandoned now in the early fall, but the scene of fierce diamond battles earlier in the season.
You don't suppose you don't suppose " the words came breathlessly, jerkily "you you really don't suppose, do you, that that she made that suggestion about a season in town for my sake?" "What other reason could she have had?" demanded Bunny sternly. Toby was laughing, but her laughter had a desperate sound. "How green you are! Must I really tell you that?" "Yes. Go on! Tell me!"
It did not occur for several years after that simple and platonic passion just described: for though they may talk of youth as the season of romance, it has always appeared to me that there are no beings in the world so entirely unromantic and selfish as certain young English gentlemen from the age of fifteen to twenty.

She would sit for hours with her little head rested on her palm, her whole soul absorbed by the wild narratives, which, during the long season of winter, are related to while away the hours spared from war and the chace.
Pitts overhauled the ice-chest, and found them in excellent condition; and Achang was appointed to be the bearer of them, with the compliments of the Americans, to the gentlemen who were to receive them. Two native porters were to carry them; and the party knew that the fish were a rarity in the town, and they were in season for the dinner of that day.
