But she would steal down to the grown-up part of the house at a time other than the dinner-hour that very night! Evening fell, and she was not asked to appear in the great dining-room. That strengthened her determination. However, to give a hint of it would be folly.
Johanna helped her into the low carriage, as if she had been an invalid, and paid her those minute trivial attentions which one woman showers upon another when she is in great grief. Then they drove off, and were soon out of my sight. By this time our dinner-hour was near, and I knew my mother would be looking out for us both.
The signal for retiring to rest is generally given by the appearance of the servant with wine, water, and biscuits, where a late dinner-hour is observed and suppers are not the custom. This is the last refreshment of the evening, and the visitor will do well to rise and wish good-night shortly after it has been partaken of by the family.
At this news she requested that some tea should be brought to her room she determined not to go to dinner. When the dinner-hour came she sent down word that she had a headache, that she was going to bed. Indeed she would have another call upon her attention if her meeting with her husband was half as much of a concussion as was to have been expected.
The dinner-hour on Sunday is noon, the same as on other days; but there is this distinction, which ought to mark the afternoon in every well-regulated ship, the people are never disturbed between twelve o'clock and four, unless some particular service occurs which cannot without impropriety be deferred.
"I'm sure he's quite as forgetful and inaccurate as I am. And I don't think my memory is at all a bad one." "You forgot the dinner-hour when we were going out to dine last week, nevertheless," said Mr. Skratdj. "And you couldn't help me when I asked you," was the sprightly retort. "And I'm sure it's not like you to forget anything about dinner, my dear."
Draw it mild, Agnes, won't you. You have no idea how modest I am." He opened the front door and entered the hall as he spoke, followed by the two girls. The drawing-room door was ajar, but Eeny and her teacher were the only occupants of that palatial chamber. "Try the dining-room," suggested Kate; "it is near dinner-hour; we will find some one there."
Thus the episode passed lightly enough, but Paul was continually in danger of a reversion to it whenever the distraught heroine appeared upon the scene. He saw but little of Annette during the weeks of labour to which Darco's new enterprise enforced him. She slept alone, and was rarely accessible before the mid-day breakfast or later than the dinner-hour.
Simple fare, by my wife's couch; a few consoling words, in the character of pastor and husband, when the infant is quiet. So my day is laid out. I wish you well. I don't object to your little dinner. Good day! good day!" A second examination of Lucilla's eyes brought us to the dinner-hour. At the sight of the table-cloth, Herr Grosse's good humour returned.
Luckily for Ward C, the nurse on duty during the dinner-hour was in the medical ward, with the door closed. And when she came back to her listening post in the corridor the last word had been sung, the last flower dropped, and Sandy was in his cot again, stretching tired little legs under the covers.
