"Scott, Eustace wants me to go for an all-day picnic alone with him to-morrow. I don't want to go." He was still looking at her with that straight, almost stern regard. An odd little quiver went through her as she met it. She felt as if she were in a fashion on her trial. "Why don't you want to go?" he asked. She hesitated. "I was to have gone up to town with Isabel to shop," she said.
It would be an all-day trip, but we knew that at the end would be the cabin of Henry Moulton, a lone mountaineer, to receive us, with such comfort as it could give, and Henry Moulton himself to cook for us a supper of fresh fish and game.
Here's where I oughta ben all the time, or some place like it." He was filled with this new mode of life, and was continually recalling old hunting tales of his father and telling them to Saxon. "Say, I don't get stiffened any more after an all-day tramp," he exulted. "I'm broke in. An' some day, if I meet up with that Hafler, I'll challenge'm to a tramp that'll break his heart."
It was a frank and naïve indulgence of long-starved senses, and there was in it a great resemblance to the rolling-eyed ecstasy of a school-boy smacking his lips over an all-day sucker. The War went on, and on, and on. And the money continued to roll in a flood of it.

THE YOUNG LADY. What vexes me most is, that women, married women, have so easily consented to give up open fires in their houses. HERBERT. They dislike the dust and the bother. I think that women rather like the confined furnace heat. THE FIRE-TENDER. Nonsense; it is their angelic virtue of submission. We wouldn't be hired to stay all-day in the houses we build.
The Montenegrin troops repulsed an Austrian invading force and took several hundred prisoners in an all-day battle on the frontier. Early in September a heavy engagement was fought by the Servian and Austrian armies near Jadar, resulting in Servian victory. It was claimed that the Austrians left 10,000 dead on the field of battle.
Think of me licking an all-day sucker a kid dopes out! Me! Oh, he venly saints!" he gulped. "Ain't I the nut, though?" "Well, supposing?" said Laurence, laughing. "Buck up! You could be a bad egg instead of a good nut, you know!" John Flint's eyes slitted, then widened; his mouth followed suit almost automatically. He looked at me. "Can you beat it?" he wondered.
The next morning, Saunders having left home on some business pertaining to the building of his new cotton-factory, Mostyn started out on one of his all-day rambles in the mountains. As he was passing the store Wartrace called out to him cordially. "You ought to come around about one o'clock, Mr. Mostyn," he said. "A big crowd will be here to listen to John Leach, the tramp preacher.

Then one flies up into a bush and sings in a high key. What does he say for the song of two short bars surely has words? One person understands it one way, and thinks the bird says 'all-day whittling, whittling, whittling! Some one else hears 'pe-a peabody peabody peabody!
