People turned in the halls, in the dining-rooms, and on the street to gaze at Jennie. "A stunning woman that man has with him," was a frequent comment. Despite her altered state Jennie did not lose her judgment of life or her sense of perspective or proportion. She felt as though life were tentatively loaning her something which would be taken away after a time.
They larked in the laboratory with Red Cross nurses, broke specimens, and did very unkind and noisy things ... besides smoking in both the large and the small dining-rooms. So, after the summer of 1915, she lived very much alone, except that she had the Adams children from Marylebone to spend the day with her occasionally. Poor Mrs. Adams, though a valiant worker, was very downcast and unhappy.
Thomas had served the club many years, but he had never heard of that cocktail. "Well, Thomas," said Peter, "if you don't have that in stock, make it seven Blackthorns." Then presently eight men packed themselves into the elevator, and a moment later were sitting in one of the private dining-rooms.
Long rows of wooden buildings stretched in every direction barracks, dining-rooms, study-rooms, offices, store-houses with great stretches of exercise and training-grounds between.
"It seems the new pivot is two very large 'ifs," said Frank, laughing. "And not much space to turn in, either. Would you take the cellar, or build out? And if so, where?" "I'd take the dining-room, Frank; and eat in the back parlor." "I wish you would. I don't like dining-rooms. I was brought up to a back parlor." "You do? You don't? You were?

The place is policed thoroughly, and nobody can get up without an order." "I haven't been thinking of going up and shooting him, even though it would be a blessing to the country," laughed his chief. "No, but it is possible somebody else might.
The dining-room alone was as other people's dining-rooms, but John's own den was so very far gone in originality and strangeness of litter, that Justina felt decidedly uneasy when she saw it; it made manifest to her that her hoped-for spouse was not the manner of man whom she could expect to understand; books also here had accumulated, and stood in rows on chairs and tables and shelves; pipes were lying on the stone chimneypiece, sharing it with certain old and new, beautiful and ugly bronzes; long papers of genealogies and calculations in John's handwriting were pinned against the walls; various broken bits of Etruscan pottery stood on brackets here and there.
Jewels may be worn. Gloves are always removed, never at a dinner should they be tucked in at the wrists. Men, of course, wear full evening dress to a formal dinner. In hotels and other public dining-rooms there is more freedom of choice as to what one shall wear but it is in bad taste to attire oneself conspicuously.
Choate, obediently. Thus did he make known to the Englishman that he was not a waiter. Similarly in crowded hotel dining-rooms or crowded railroad stations have agitated ladies clutched my arm and said: "I want a table for three," or "When does the train go to Poughkeepsie?"
If only to signify her contempt for Godwin's prejudices, Charlotte would have behaved civilly to the London uncle. In the end, Andrew took his leave in the friendliest possible way, repeating often that he would soon have the pleasure of entertaining Mrs. Peak and all her family at his new dining-rooms over against Whitelaw College.
