Courtlaw," she remarked. "He is one of our guests perhaps I should say boarders here, but he seldom returns before dinner-time. We dine at seven-thirty. Can I give him any message for you?" "Thank you," Anna answered. "I have a letter for him from his brother, which I was just leaving." "I will see that he gets it immediately on his return," the lady promised.
My father gathered up the reins, moved away from Zinaida, she slowly raised her eyes to him, and both galloped off ... Byelovzorov flew after them, his sabre clattering behind him. 'He's as red as a crab, I reflected, 'while she ... why's she so pale? out riding the whole morning, and pale? I redoubled my pace, and got home just at dinner-time.

There was no question of his attainments. Herman met him at dinner-time. "Well, elder, I'm going down to get a rig to go out home in.

Mihalevitch spoke about music; she sat down without ceremony to the piano, and very correctly played some of Chopin's mazurkas, which were then just coming into fashion. Dinner-time came; Lavretsky would have gone away, but they made him stay: at dinner the general regaled him with excellent Lafitte, which the general's lackey hurried off in a street-sledge to Dupre's to fetch.
"Well, it was this way. After I came out of the cupboard in the drawing-room...." "What!" "Didn't I tell you about that? Oh yes, I was sitting in the cupboard in the drawing-room from dinner-time onwards. After that I came out and started cannoning about among Aunt Adeline's china, so I thought I'd better switch the light on. Unfortunately I switched on some sort of musical instrument instead.
I was going right down to the farm-house to console Melindy, and take her a book she wanted to read, for no fine lady of all my New York acquaintance enjoyed a good book more than she did; but Cousin Kate asked me to wind some yarn for her, and was so brilliant, so amiable, so altogether charming, I quite forgot Melindy till dinner-time, and then, when that was over, there was a basket to be found, and we were off, turkey-hunting!
