Look at the picture on p. 165; why is this a good after-supper corner? How do you sit and hold your book when you read in the evening? 4. What parts of your body are you exercising and taking care of when you read? Of what use is a healthy, vigorous body without a healthy, vigorous mind? How can you keep your mind healthy? How can you keep it vigorous? 5.
Roger's custom was to sit at his desk in the rear, puffing his pipe and reading; though if any customer started a conversation, the little man was quick and eager to carry it on. The lion of talk lay only sleeping in him; it was not hard to goad it up. It may be remarked that all bookshops that are open in the evening are busy in the after-supper hours.
Along those illuminated streets Tito Melema was walking at about eight o'clock in the evening, on his way homeward. He had been exerting himself throughout the day under the pressure of hidden anxieties, and had at last made his escape unnoticed from the midst of after-supper gaiety.
"Where's Nora?" he insisted, and the Quins looked at each other and laughed. "Ourselves is old hins that's hatched ducks," confessed Patrick. "Ain't I afther telling you she's gone into trade on the Road?" and he took his pipe from his mouth, that after-supper pipe which neither prosperity nor adversity was apt to interrupt.
The barking had its effect in the house, for, as Dinah and Hetty approached, the doorway was filled by a portly figure, with a ruddy black-eyed face which bore in it the possibility of looking extremely acute, and occasionally contemptuous, on market-days, but had now a predominant after-supper expression of hearty good-nature.

"Oh, mother, never was there a boy like that!" said Charlie. "Well," said Mrs. Van Buren, "you shall tell your father how you found little Sky-High it will be a pretty after-supper story.
"Don't talk of her, Isabel, I can't bear it," and Charley brushed away a tear. Dance succeeded dance, and Isabel was still Charley's partner. "There are half-a-dozen gentlemen dying to be introduced to Miss Leicester, and you give them no chance, Mr. Elliott," said Emily. "Very well, but remember, Isabel, that we are engaged for the after-supper galop." "I'll not forget," she returned.
Could anything be nicer or in better feeling than his allusions to Cousin Pieter in his after-supper speech?
They saw one or two people a woman with a basket of eggs, a barefoot boy returning home from after-supper play. June carried the burden of the talk because she was quicker-witted than Houck.

Many entire families seem to make nightly rendezvous at these concerts, enjoying the music as only Germans do, and setting many a pretty picture in the minds of strangers. The concerts are over by nine or ten o'clock, but the performances at theatre and opera are frequently not concluded before half-past ten or eleven, and an after-supper at a café or at home is a consequent necessity.
