Oh, now she understood him through and through. She would await the fulness of time; sufficient for the day was the light of the day. She was happier than she had been for many years. Half-term was approaching, when she would be allowed to go down and see Lancelot; in these days she felt Spring in the air. February can be kind to us, and show a golden threshold to March.
The Man You Know, and Who Knows You!" Presently Kitty entered, with Dolly. "Who do you think has just arrived?" she said. "I don't know. Not a deputation, I hope!" "No. Gerald from school." "Great Scott! Expelled?" "Oh no. It's his half-term exeat. I had forgotten all about it. As it just falls in with the Election, he has come to see you through, he says." "Right!
I am giving Hella an electric torch with a very powerful reflector, so that it really lights up the whole room, and an amber necklace. February 14th. It's a good thing that we have the half-term holiday to-day and to-morrow for that gives me time to write all about yesterday. It was simply phenomenal!
It was his first gallantry towards womankind. This teacher remained in the school only a half-term. Some said that she left because she was not strong enough to teach such a large school. Some said because she had not enough government.
One got up, and had one's breakfast, and went to school, and had one's dinner, and went to school, and had one's tea, and played, and had one's supper, and went to bed.

The conditions on which the half-term holiday was granted required every boy to return to school on the Monday evening, and accordingly, about seven o'clock, the Triple Alliance found themselves once more on their way to the railway station. They took their seats, and had hardly done so when young Noaks entered the compartment. "Hullo, you fellows!" he exclaimed; "didn't you hear me whistle?

"I remember, but it didn't go with my dress. That's another thing, Pixie you haven't a dress to wear, so it's just as well you aren't asked, after all! I managed to make you presentable for a half-term evening, but that old frock of yours would never do for a breaking-up party."
"Weel, you ken I'm generally willing to back my judgment, and noo it seems there's others think like me." "In a sense, the lease does not run out yet," Kit interposed. "It has rather reached the half-term, because by our custom Railton is entitled to take it up again for an equal period if he and the landlord agree about the necessary adjustment. Our leases really cover a double term."
There had been some curiosity as to who would be thought worthy to bring the precious little baronet to Rockquay, and there was some diversion, as well as joy, when it proved that no one was to be entrusted with him but his eldest aunt, Mrs. Harewood, who was to bring him in Whitsun week, so that he might begin with a half-term.
