He expected to be up before, but I heard from him a few minutes ago that there has been a delay, but that he will be up within half- an-hour. Till our next meeting. As I returned into the house, in the hall I met Percy Woodville. He had his hat on. 'Where are you off to?
When he is sent for a hack buggy and returns after half- an-hour, with a perplexed face, saying that there is not one to be had anywhere, who would suspect that he has been holding an auction at the nearest stand, dwelling on the liberality and wealth of his master and the distance to which his business that morning will take him, and that, when he found no one would bid up to his reserve, he remained firm and came away.
Half an-hour before twelve, he was in his own office, and in the thirty minutes that lay between his arrival and the visit of the proprietor, he had arranged his affairs for any absence that would be necessary.

"Then," returned she, "tell her ladyship I shall come and sit half- an-hour with her to-night; and here," added she, running up to him, "present her that rose, with my love." Whilst she put it into his hand, she whispered in a low voice, "and you will tell me what you think of the verses I have given you." Thaddeus colored and bowed.
Isopel made no objection, and in about half- an-hour we had arranged everything at her quarters, I then hastened and prepared tea.

"This poor lad says he has found a defective grindstone. It is impossible for me to test it while it is running. Will you let us into the works when the saw-grinders have left?" Bayne hem'd and haw'd a little, but consented. He would remain behind half an-hour to oblige Little. Henry gave the Anomaly his dinner, and then inspected the file-cutters in two great works.
Punctually at eleven o'clock next morning Arthur Newcome arrived for his interview with Mr Bertrand. They were shut up together for over half- an-hour, then Mr Bertrand burst open the door of the room where Miss Carr and his daughter were seated, and addressed the latter in tones of irritation such as she had seldom heard from those kindly lips.

After a half- an-hour, the oscillations of the earth became fainter, without however wholly ceasing, but about eight o'clock there was a second shock so severe, that the Sisters who were at the time standing in their stalls chanting the Office, were all thrown to the ground.
"Is the church handy, Ricky?" said Adrian. "You can still give us half- an-hour if it is. The celibate hours strike at Twelve." And he also laughed in his fashion. "Won't you stay with us, Richard?" Clare asked. She blushed timidly, and her voice shook. Something indefinite a sharp-edged thrill in the tones made the burning bridegroom speak gently to her.
