Randolph flung himself from his horse. "Leonora!" he gasped. "You here! In all this danger! How comes it? What brings you here?" "We live here," she said. "This is Pa's house. This is our farm. Gettysburg is our home. Oh, Egg, it has been dreadful, the noise of the battle! We couldn't sleep for it. Pa's all upset about it. But come in. Do come in. Dinner's nearly ready."
"We had the best of it," I remarked. "Yes, rather. But you are going ahead with that girl. Do be careful or you'll have the old terror of a husband down on you." "You introduced me," I returned laughing. "You have all the responsibility." "You know dinner's at six on this unearthly boat. Aren't you going to get any dinner to-night?" "I'm not very particular about it. I shall pick up something.
"Then why doesn't he appear?" stormed the dowager. "Pretty behaviour this, to keep us all waiting dinner. I shall tell him so. Val Elster, ring for Hedges." Val rang the bell. "Has Lord Hartledon come in?" he asked, when the butler appeared. "No, sir." "And dinner's spoiling, isn't it, Hedges?" broke in the dowager. "It won't be any the better for waiting, my lady." "No.
Now your real gentleman thinks most of them things that make men ekal, and t'other chap thinks most of what makes them unekal." "Hear, hear!" said Johnnie. "And what did Joey thay to that, Thwan?" "He didn't say much," answered Swan in his most pragmatical manner. It's dinner-time, Mr. Johnnie; will you pass me out my pipe? I don't say but what I may take a whiff while the dinner's dishing up."
Dinner's getting shivery too. The sooner we go down the better." She passed back through the door and down the hall. There was no doubt that she was a magnificent woman. As Sir Jeremy was wheeled through the doors he gripped Harry's hand. "I'm damned glad that you're back," he whispered. Robin, who was the last to leave the room, closed the windows and turned out the lights.
Chapelle called to say that she would be fifteen minutes late. May I get you a drink?" "Glenlivet, please. Rocks." Twenty minutes later Jacky swept in, apologizing. "No problem," Oliver said. "You look well." She was tanned and buzzing with energy. "Forgive my banker suit," she said. "No time to change. I talked them into more money." "Congratulations." "Dinner's on me.
There! read it! and then I will write your orders, and enclose a copy of it, for fear of accident." "That was to have been my fortune," said Francisco, with a grave smile; "but I would not touch it." "Very right, boy! a fine principle! But we are not quite so particular," said the admiral. "Now, where's the young lady? Let her know that dinner's on the table."
Her father was advancing toward the young man, expecting to shake hands with him, but Alice stood between them, and Russell, a little flushed, bowed to him gravely over her shoulder, without looking at him; whereupon Adams, slightly disconcerted, put his hands in his pockets and turned to his wife. "I guess dinner's more'n ready," he said. "We better go sit down."
"Lunch, sir!" said Mrs Fidler; "dear me, no; the dinner's waiting and getting cold." "Bother the old dinner!" thought Tom. "Come, my lad, we must eat," said Uncle Richard, with a smile. "We shall not finish the telescope to-day."
Through a French window, under sun-blinds not yet drawn up, he preceded her into the room where he was wont to study The Times and the sheets of an agricultural magazine, with huge illustrations of mangold wurzels, and the like, which provided Holly with material for her paint brush. "Dinner's in half an hour. You'd like to wash your hands! I'll take you to June's room."
