"Here, wait a minute, uncle," he continued, "till I run upstairs and get another jacket on, and then I'll be off. I say, uncle, isn't this an adventure?" "My dear boy," said Solomon, "it is the most extraordinary " "No, but do, uncle, please do, Miss Florence dinner, you know, uncle." "Yes, yes, yes," cutting instantly into a leg of mutton, as if he were catering for a giant.
There could be no risk in catering to his aroused curiosity. The account Manetho now gave was true, though falsehood lurked in the pauses. "That day Thor came, I left the house early in the morning.

The critic fared very badly in the contest. The charge made against Mr Thackeray is, that he abuses the characters of the literary class with a view apparently of catering to public prejudice.

The harp was seldom silent night or day, the strains of panegyric were as prodigal and incessant as the falling of the Shannon over Killaloe.
His landlady supplied him with nothing: ever since he had gone to her he had done his own catering, going out for his meals. The last meal, on the previous evening, had been a glass of milk and a stale, though sizable bun, and now he felt literally ravenous.
His heavy limbs moved but slowly, and if ever full lips deserved to be called sensual, they were those of this man, who was a priest of two divinities. How well his household understood the art of catering for his love of high living, was evident in the meal which was served soon after Melissa's arrival, and to eat which the old man made her recline on the couch by his side.
Reviewing his knowledge of the construction of spaceports, he remembered that one side was the terminal, where humans and visitors and passengers were freely admitted; the other side, for Lhari and their Mentorian employees only, contained along with business offices of many sorts a sort of arcade with amusement centers, shops and restaurants catering to the personnel of the Lhari ships.
