But upon thinking it over it occurred to him that such an outlay would not only arouse his new friends' suspicion of his financial resources, it would deprive them of one of the chief joys in such a neighbourhood as this in which he was abiding that of the personal sharing in the details of the dinner's preparation and the proud lending of their best in friendly rivalry.
"I never shall forgit how we all laughed when Milly was tellin' it. 'You know, Aunt Jane, says she, 'how quick a man gits up when you tell him dinner's ready. Well, Sam he jumps up, and says he, "Why, you're mighty smart to-day, Milly; I don't believe there's another woman in the county that could git a Sunday dinner this quick." And says he, "Walk out, Brother Hendricks, walk right out.""
What time is it?" Mason was rubbing his hands in the doorway. "Dinner's ordered at eight, sir," said he. "And it's half-past seven now. Just time to wash our hands. No dress to-night, you know."

It seems to me I was never quite so comfortable or so happy in my life." "It's a shame to disturb you," said Ida. "But dinner's ready. Don't stop to dress first. I'll bring you a kimono."

They looked real white an' firm last time I see 'em, but you never can tell how they be underneath. I knew the folks would ask me when I got home. I thought I'd speak." "Dinner's ready," said Amelia.
You will taste some of the sofas and tables to-day in his champagne. I don't know how it is, I always fancy my sherry smells like my poor uncle's old leather chair: very odd smell it had, a kind of respectable smell! I hope you're hungry, dinner's ready."
"What are you going to do to-night?" asked Strangwise. Desmond began to check off on his fingers. Then..." Strangwise interrupted him. "The bath is on you, if you like," he said, "but the dinner's on me and a show afterwards. I'm at a loose end, old man, and so are you, so we'll hit up together!
'How are you, Edith, old girl? 'I'm quite well, Bruce. 'I have a sort of idea, as you know, he said, growing more at ease, 'that we shall rather miss a Miss Townsend, when we first go away. What do you think of taking her for part of the time? 'Dinner's ready, announced Edith, and they dined.
Come," he continued, offering me his arm, as the others had now moved a little way apart, "come and take a turn with me in the cedar-walk till dinner's ready; I want to talk to you, for who knows when one will get another opportunity."
