It was magnificent and yet austere. Philip felt that it offered the very spirit of old Spain. Athelny was in the middle of showing him the inside of the bargueno, with its beautiful ornamentation and secret drawers, when a tall girl, with two plaits of bright brown hair hanging down her back, came in. "Mother says dinner's ready and waiting and I'm to bring it in as soon as you sit down."
"Max," she said, "won't you go out and get enough napkins to put at all the places? You'll have to hurry." Bannon was slow in turning; when he did there was a peculiar expression on his face. "Hold on, there," called a waiter. "There ain't time to fold them." "Yes, there is," said Bannon, shortly. "The boys can wait." "But dinner's most ready now." "Then I guess dinner's got to wait, too."
Go now an' clane yourselves, take the blood from about your faces, for the dinner's ready an hour agone; but if you all respect the place you're in, you'll show it, in regard of the young crathurs that's going, in the name of God, to face the world together, and of coorse wishes that this day at laste should pass in pace and quietness: little did I think there was any friend or neighbor here that would make so little of the place or people, as was done for nothing at all, in the face of the country.
In Midsummer-night's Dream he has the same notion. With doubler tongue Then thine, O serpent, never adder stung. ACT III. SCENE i. Thou hast nor youth, nor age: But as it were an after dinner's sleep, Dreaming on both. This is exquisitely imagined.
"Well, at all events, if you can't fight, you have a good pair of heels to run with," replied Captain C ; "but dinner's announced." I left early, that I might have some conversation with Mr Fraser.
Hope would stay on, would you come for a week? I guess you'll like it." "I 'guess' we should," exclaimed Clover, her face lighting up. "Clarence, how delightful it sounds! It will be lovely to come if Mrs. Hope says yes." "Then that's all right," replied Clarence, looking extremely pleased. "I'll ride up to the doctor's as soon as dinner's over." "You'll dine with us, of course?"
"Once we get him back aboard ship the medicos will do a little work over him and he'll sit up and want to know if dinner's ready." Then they fell silent, for, with the roar of wind and waters, it was necessary for them to shout when they talked. As the minutes went by slowly, the two conscious midshipmen found themselves filled with amazement. A dozen times the launches darted by, not far away.
"Here, you give me a needle and cotton and I'll mend that net of yours, while you go on with your unpacking. Dinner's at one. Dr Macphail, you'd better go down to the wharf and see that your heavy luggage has been put in a dry place. You know what these natives are, they're quite capable of storing it where the rain will beat in on it all the time."
The dinner's going again in spanking style, and old Audley has got to make a speech in honour of the forks being saved. We want to start some new ceremony, don't you know, to commemorate the occasion. I say, you really got the goods back, what do you suggest?"
Betty, clear away the table; I have my work to do, and won't wait any longer." "I'm coming, my dear, I'm coming; only this balance-spring is a job that I cannot well leave," replied Nicholas, continuing his vocation in the shop, with a magnifying glass attached to his eye. "Coming! yes, and Christmas is coming, Mr Forster. Well, the dinner's going, I can tell you."
