Orange carved the joint of sweet-stuff, he said, 'It's a poor heart that never rejoices. Jane, go down to the cellar, and fetch a bottle of the Upest ginger-beer. At tea-time, Mr. and Mrs. Orange, and baby, and Mrs. Alicumpaine went off to Mrs. Alicumpaine's house. The children had not come yet; but the ball-room was ready for them, decorated with paper flowers. 'How very sweet! said Mrs.
Having eaten cold beef, pickled walnut, gooseberry tart, and drunk stone-bottle ginger-beer, they walked into the Park, and light talk was succeeded by the silence Jolyon had dreaded. "You haven't told me about Paris," he said at last. "No. I've been shadowed for a long time; one gets used to that. But then Soames came. By the little Niobe the same story; would I go back to him?"

There had been a rush of new entries owing to the conclusion of the hop-picking season, the insolvency of a local ginger-beer bottling factory, and other mysterious influences. "Name?"

The cricket ground was the field close to it, and for the last two or three years there had been a frequent custom of despatching juniors to his house for tarts and ginger-beer bottles. Norman knew of instances last year in which this had led to serious mischief, and had made up his mind that, at whatever loss of popularity, it was his duty to put a stop to the practice.
The sponge-cakes were both soft and dry and the biscuits were dry too, and yet soft, which biscuits ought not to be. But the ginger-beer made up for everything. 'It's my turn now to try to buy something with the money, Anthea said, 'I'm next eldest. Where is the pony-cart kept?
Dick decided in favour of ginger-beer, and consented to be embraced again. It was, I think, to Maria's credit that she was the first to bring back the conversation to John Caldigate's marriage. 'Was she a very horrible woman? Maria asked, referring to Euphemia Smith. 'There were a good many of 'em out there, greedy after gold, said Dick; 'but she beat 'em all; and she was awfully clever.
"'Bankrupt stock!" cried Bauldie, "and him an Elder of the Kirk! That'll learn him to be complaining of his windows." "'Poor people specially invited, and calls himself an Italian warehouseman. I would give half a dozen ginger-beer to see Lady Kilspindie there," stammered Jock with delight.
