Come, let's have some music; nothing else will keep him in good humor till lunch-time. THE MISTRESS. What shall it be? THE PARSON. Give us the larghetto from Beethoven's second symphony. The Young Lady puts aside her portfolio. Herbert looks at the young lady. The Parson composes himself for critical purposes.
One of our favorite amusements at lunch-time is to walk down to Henry Rosa's pastry shop, and buy a slab of cinnamon bun. Then we walk round Washington Square, musing, and gradually walking round and engulfing the cinnamon bun at the same time. It is surprising what a large circumference those buns of Henry's have.
It was something to have a friend like that. Little Chandler's thoughts ever since lunch-time had been of his meeting with Gallaher, of Gallaher's invitation and of the great city London where Gallaher lived. He was called Little Chandler because, though he was but slightly under the average stature, he gave one the idea of being a little man.
'I haven't the slightest idea, said the rector, 'or, if that is not exactly true, it will do till lunch-time. And here he was called away. We set out; John Hill is not a man to withhold such information as he possesses on any point, and you may gather from him much that is of interest about the people of the place and their talk.
If it is not very near lunch-time, let the traveller look well about him in the dusty little piazza there, for the Temple of Fortune, with its bruised but beautiful facade, is hard by, as much in the form that Servius Tullius gave it as could well be expected after all this time.
"One knows well enough where mama must be when it is nearly lunch-time. You came home late from school," Lippo answered, carefully trotting away with his fragile burden. "Yes, I did, you little sentinel of good order," Kurt laughed out, passing Lippo in order to hasten to the dining-room. Now Kurt could laugh again.
"You heard what I told you in the box," was the quiet reply. "I shall explain as much as I can explain to Nigel when we get home. He can tell you everything later on to-day at lunch-time, if you like." "It has been one of the strangest nights I ever remember," Naida declared, after a brief pause. "Oscar Immelan, who was dining with us, arrived half an hour late.
"I expected to find her here," she answered, ignoring his inquiry as to Lady Barbara's identity. "They are keeping her, no doubt, on some new work. She hasn't had any breakfast, and now it's long past lunch-time. And they didn't find the piece of lace? That's bad! Poor dear, she was near crazy when she found it was gone!"
The child, still seated on the same chair, raised a gloomy face towards her, and without answering threw both arms around her neck, and kissed her with a great gasp. Her grief indeed had been intense. At lunch-time Rosalie seemed greatly surprised. "Madame surely went for a long walk!" said she. "Why do you think so?" asked Helene. "Because madame is eating with such an appetite.
All the time the sledge rasped and creaked, and the work of moving it onward was agonizing. At lunch-time they had managed to cover six miles but at fearful cost to themselves, and although when they camped for the night they were only about 74 miles from the Pole, Scott asked himself whether they could possibly keep up such a strain for seven more days. 'It takes it out of us like anything.
