He had on his Sunday suit, and was unusually smartened up for a weekday; for it was but natural that neighbors might be expected to drop in for information as to the supernatural manifestations he had experienced, and it was well to be prepared. He was a fresh-looking, fair-haired lad of eighteen or thereabouts.
"There is no need to indulge in luxuries on an ordinary weekday; but I thought, I've an invalid at home, so it is excusable. And the caviare is good, real sturgeon. . . ." The man in the white shirt brought in the samovar and a tray with tea-things. "Eat some," said Father Christopher, spreading the caviare on a slice of bread and handing it to Yegorushka.
He had reason to visit our neighbouring town rather frequently, and on such occasions he always marched up and attacked us. It was extraordinary how persistent he was, for my Father must have been a very trying friend. I vividly recollect that a sort of cross- examination of would-be communicants was going on in our half- furnished drawing-room one weekday morning, when Mr.
Such being the tempting length of him, the Girl saw that he was worth an effort; she took to smoking the chimney of her bedroom lamp, heating curling irons, wearing her best hat and best ribbons on a weekday, and insisting upon crowding number four-and-a-half feet into number three-and-a-half shoes and managing to look as if she were perfectly comfortable.

The hour was now already past my weekday bedtime, but we had another service to attend, the Believers' Prayer Meeting, which commonly occupied forty minutes more. Then we used to creep home, I often so tired that the weariness was like physical pain, and I was permitted, without further 'worship', to slip upstairs to bed.
Jerry had been so accustomed to wandering about, that though Susan did her best to make him comfortable, and he always found a willing listener in Harry, after he had been with us three days he began to weary of staying quiet, and announced that he must get under way. The next morning he appeared in his weekday clothes, shouldering his knapsack and model ship.
Miss Thompson said after Mamma, "And this is Mary." Her mournful eyes moved and sparkled as if she had suddenly thought of something for herself. "I am sure," she said, "they will be very good." Mamma shook her head, as much as to say Miss Thompson must not build on it. Every weekday from ten to twelve Miss Thompson came and taught them reading, writing and arithmetic.
With serpentine wisdom she instituted a counter-attraction. Under her skilful manipulation, Ben Schenk, the son of the saloon-keeper, soon developed into a rival suitor.
