The Colonel sent for Walter to his room. He did not come for some time, because he was wooing Mary Bartley. Colonel Clifford's first word was, "Who was that little stuttering dandy I caught spooning your Julia?" "Only Percy Fitzroy." "Only Percy Fitzroy! Never despise your rivals, sir. Always remember that young women are full of vanity, and expect to be courted all day long.
"All right!" he answered in a smothered voice. "How many of 'em?" "Four," she said, and kissed the tip of his ear. "For goodness sake, Dick!" Mrs. Sam snapped in a disgusted tone, "stop that spooning and get us something to sit on." "Help yourself," he replied, still from his wife's lap, "and don't be jealous, sis. If the sight of married happiness upsets you, go away. Go away, anyhow." Mr.
If he could bring himself to accept this as his fate he would be saved a deal of trouble. Spooning at Killancodlem, after all, would not be bad fun. He almost told himself that he would marry Miss Green, were it not that he was determined not to be dictated to by that old harridan. Many people came and went at Rudham Park, but among those who did not go was Guss Mildmay.
From one evil which was freely prophesied the university has been singularly free. It was declared that a great deal of ``spooning'' would result. This has not been the case.
I thought it might be a good thing, you know. And so I tried it, spooning, you know," said he placidly. "Oh, indeed!" commented Bijou sarcastically. "Very honorable of you, I am sure, and delightful for the girl to have such a disinterested admirer. How did it end?" "How you do pick,a fellow up!" remonstrated Mr. Ramsay amiably.
Have you ever heard 'em talking of barrage and aprons and waste-water ~ It's their style of spooning, I suppose." Mrs. Jim smiled tenderly. "Ah, that's in the intervals bless 'em." And so Love ran about the camp unrebuked in broad daylight, while men picked up the pieces and put them neatly away of the Famine in the Eight Districts.
"You see," Ted explained, spooning out grapefruit with an energetic hand, "father and mother and Steve and Rosy have gone to the country to a funeral a cousin of ours. Louis and Rob aren't home till night except Saturdays and Sundays, and Ruth is at school till Friday nights. It makes it sort of lonesome for me. Wednesdays, though, every other week, Rob's home all day.
There was another belated one this evening. Seated before a tempting spread of milk toast, demanded by his recent convalescence, was Freddy Neville, a little pale and peaked perhaps, but doing full justice to a third creamy slice, and ready for more. "Why, hello, Fred!" greeted Dan, dropping into the chair beside him. "You down?" "Yes," said Fred, spooning his dish vigorously.
I hate races, where a fellow has nothing to do with himself when he can't afford to bet. I don't mean to take to cards for the next ten years. I have never been up in a balloon. Spooning is good fun, but it comes to an end so soon one way or another. Girls are so wide-awake that they won't spoon for nothing.

In her absence Gillian always felt more free and communicative, and she had soon told whatever she did not feel as a sort of confidence, including Valetta's derivation of spooning, and when Miss Mohun returned it was repeated to her.
