It all seemed perfectly natural at the time, but afterwards he wondered how she had known his name was Paul and how it had all come to pass. "For three days you have thought of me, Paul is it not so?" she said, half closing her lids. But he could only blurt out "Yes!" while he devoured her with his eyes. "We are both how shall I say drifting holiday-making trying to forget.
People holiday-making, or out of work, will forage about in search of free meals, and will drop in here and there just about dinner time without much thought as to whether their company is welcome or not. Even the poorest persons will cheerfully produce all that they have got in order to feed these chance comers, with whom perhaps they have only a slight acquaintance.
Just before Easter several of the men asked Hunter if they might be allowed to work on Good Friday and Easter Monday, as, they said, they had had enough holidays during the winter; they had no money to spare for holiday-making, and they did not wish to lose two days' pay when there was work to be done.
Things that were forgotten before seem now to fill in the whole view; things that were large and looming, seem, oh, so small, so mean and trifling! I look back, and can hardly understand how I worried myself about useless trifles little shabbinesses about the house, upset of arrangements, clothes and food and holiday-making.
And in their delight they rushed about from one stall to another, and felt inclined to dance round their marble slabs like a lot of holiday-making schoolgirls.

Now she looked at the town with weary eyes, and thought how dull and shabby it had grown. The walk to Les Fontaines, along a white dusty road, seemed interminable.
But while all this chivalrous banqueting and holiday-making was in hand, the Prince of Parma was in reality not quite so much "appalled" by the relief of Grave as his antagonist had imagined.
Evidently the present period was one of holiday-making, for Mr Moffatt seemed to do nothing but hang about the hotel, playing odd games of bridge or billiards with stray loafers like himself, and being correspondingly elated or depressed as he won or lost. On the whole, Cornelia preferred him when he was depressed. Exuberance of spirits is apt to wax offensive when divorced from good taste.
