"My inclinations," answered she, "would, I am afraid, be too unreasonable a confinement to you; for they would always lead me to be with you and your children, with at most a single friend or two now and then." "O my dear!" replied he, "large companies give us a greater relish for our own society when we return to it; and we shall be extremely merry, for Doctor Harrison dines with us."
She hurried away her treasures, and hastened to admit and greet him. "I have come," said he, smiling, "to beg the pleasure of your company for an old friend who dines with us to-day. But, stay, Lucy, your hair is ill-arranged. Do not let me disturb so important an occupation as your toilette; dress yourself, my love, and join us." Lucy turned, with a suppressed sigh, to the glass.
I dislike him, exclusively, as a son-in-law. If the only office of a son-in-law were to dine at the paternal table, I should set a high value upon your brother. He dines capitally. But that is a small part of his function, which, in general, is to be a protector and caretaker of my child, who is singularly ill-adapted to take care of herself. It is there that he doesn't satisfy me.
The first-rate actor dines with the noble amateur, and entertains a fashionable table with scraps and songs and theatrical slip-slop.
Any information as to Colonel Kamworth's services in the four quarters of the globe, he need not say, is entirely at Mr. L.'s disposal. "Colonel K. dines at six precisely." When Waller had read the note through, he tossed his hat up in the air, and, with something little sort of an Indian whoop, shouted out "The game is won already.
Rufus lifted one wiry yellow forefinger, in a state of perpendicular protest. "He cannot stop the marriage," the sagacious New Englander admitted; "but he can stop the money, my son. Find out how you stand with him before another day is over your head." "I can't go to him this evening." said Amelius; "he dines out." "Where is he now?" "At his place of business." "Fix him at his place of business.
He returns at eleven. "'I want to see him on a private matter, I said. "'To consult him? she queried. "'Not professionally, you understand, signora, but on a personal affair. "'Then come in the evening. He dines at seven. He is always in until ten. Will you leave your name? "I left my card and wrote on the back of it that I wished to see him about the relatives of Signorina Rosa Cairola.
"We'll have an afternoon presently. Ask Mrs. Toplady to introduce Mr. Roach he dines with us on the 27th." To make sure of the M. P., Lashmar invited him verbally, and received a dreamy acceptance so dreamy that he resolved to send a note, to remind Mr. Roach of the engagement. "So you are to be one of us, at Mr. Lashmar's dinner," said the hostess to Mrs. Woolstan.
When he had cleared his table and placed his chair beside it, he wandered over to his tall west window and stood looking up the street through the brilliant sunshine, toward the Arkwright home. No one was in sight. In Hooker's Bend every one dines precisely at twelve, and at that hour the streets are empty. It would be some time before Cissie came back down the street on her way to Niggertown.
The one thing he can do really well is to pay. His yacht, his drag, his brougham, his riding-horses, his shooting-box, all are at her disposal. At his expense she dines at Greenwich; at his expense she views the Derby; at his expense she enjoys an opera-box. And in return for all this she has only to smile and murmur "so nice," for the soft simpleton to fancy himself amply repaid.
