"Business!" said the doctor, "much she knows about it!" And then he added that he was sure she would do her part to influence the boy to be more industrious. "And you may depend on it, she won't allow any love-making," said William. He laughed again suddenly, out loud, as he ate his supper that night, because some memory of the after-noon came into his head.
"From what you imply, I should judge that you were expecting me." "Nothing less! Your departure from Bleiberg was known to us as early as two o'clock this after-noon," answered the baron. "Permit us to escort you to the chateau before the ladies see you. 'Tis a gala night; we are all in our best bib and tucker, as the English say.
Then he would quickly polish up boots and buttons for him and hand him his cap when it was time for the after-noon drill to commence. "Come, Heinrich, I have made you smart," he would say with an attempt to joke. "Now we shall be all right." And Klitzing would go down the steps with aching limbs and fall into line. Vogt's care for him only ceased at night and began anew every morning.
I have at the moment of going to press just two dollars fifty in specie, which I took off your father this after-noon. We were playing twenty-five cents a Hole. He coughed it up without enthusiasm in fact, with a nasty hacking sound but I've got it. But that's all I have got." "That's all right. You can pawn that ring and that bracelet of mine." "Oh, I say, what! Pop the family jewels?"
Also, I guess likely, they're startin' out with as good prospects as any bride an' groom that's walked up the middle aisle o' the meetin'-house for many a year.... How'd you like that Boston singer that the Wilsons brought here, Abby? Wait a minute, is Cephas, or the Deacon, tendin' store this after-noon?" "The Deacon; Cephas is paintin' up to the Mills."
That day the court dined on pop-corn, and as it was very light and unsatisfying, they had to eat a long time. They were all the after-noon dining. Right after dinner the King wrote out his royal decree that all the inhabitants should that year plant pop-corn instead of any other grain or any vegetable, and that as soon as the ships arrived they should make it their only article of food.
Last we saw of him he was doing the trip to Canada in nothing flat." "But how?" gasped Nelly. "It happened about the time we met in London. Do you remember Freddie Rooke, who was at our house that after-noon?" A dreamy look came into Nelly's eyes. There had not been an hour since their parting when she had not thought of that immaculate sportsman.
The old doctor was almost transported with joy as they all gathered about him, and his eup of happiness was filled to overflowing when, the next day, which was Sunday, his pulpit was filled by Edward in the morning, William in the after-noon, and George in the evening. Side by side with this charming picture we have another of domestic life outlined by Mrs. Stowe's own hand.
In the eyes of Doctor Gilman thirty years was so brief a period that it was as though the clipping had been printed the previous after-noon. The members of his class who were examined on the "Rise and Fall," and who invariably came to grief over it, referred to it briefly as the "Fall," sometimes feelingly as "the.... Fall."
One of these stopped and gave us an extraordinary exhibition of agility in a sort of St. Vitus's jig, jumping, kicking, and shaking its head; I suspect the nose-worms were annoying it. While we lunched, a fawn came and gazed curiously from a distance of 100 yards. In the after-noon Preble returned from a walk to say that the Caribou were visible in all directions, but not in great bands.
