When it died still lower, they walked toward the house, hand in hand, and sat there on the steps watching it. "Well," said Bryant, smiling at her, "you want to go to Poole's Woods?" Isabel smiled back. "I guess so," she said. "We can be there by luncheon-time." "All right. I'll go home an' harness up." Half-way down the path he stopped and turned. "Say, Isabel!"
Very few people went to morning service, as indeed the late hours overnight kept most of us in our rooms till eleven or twelve o'clock, when we dawdled down to a breakfast that seemed to lengthen itself out till luncheon-time.
Shortly after this, Elgar would have risen to take his leave, but Mrs. Spence begged him to remain and lunch with them. The visitors from the Mergellina declined a similar invitation. Edward Spence was passing his morning at the Museum. On his return at luncheon-time, Eleanor met him with the intelligence that Reuben Elgar had presented himself, and was now in his sister's room.
I am among the less; for rough weather has never been an enemy to me, and at home I have always been used to splashing about in the wet, with the native relish of a young duck. Mrs. She does not appear until late not until near luncheon-time.
Forrest had returned, and returned with Miss Allison herself, brought back on their train, in their carriage, as he learned from Aunt Lawrence, and apparently more influential with the father and daughter than ever before.

"You'll never go away again shall he, Bess? But isn't it luncheon-time? I could eat no breakfast for joy, but I do think I am hungry now." Mr. Mellen laughed, and Elsie went on again. "Oh, Grantley, I saw Dolf on the steamboat; he is coming over with your luggage. The ridiculous creature has more airs than ever.
I heard Miss Rachel ask whether the door would be dry that evening, in time for the birthday company to see it. And Mr. Franklin shook his head, and said it wouldn't be dry in less than twelve hours. It was long past luncheon-time it was three o'clock before they had done. What does your arithmetic say, Rosanna? Mine says the door was dry by three this morning.
She was silent for a little. He kept his hand upon her head, and she was glad of its support though she wished it had not been his. "It must be nearly luncheon-time," she said at last, with an effort. "It is," said Max. "We will go indoors." "Oh, but I must pick up my raspberries first, and there's a whole row more to gather yet." "You will have to leave that job for someone else," he said.
At the same time the contrast between Miss Fanny's wardrobe, and what she herself reported, in every tone of grievance and disgust, of the family poverty, was surprising, though no doubt a great deal of the finery had been as cheaply bought as possible. By luncheon-time Diana had shown some symptoms of fatigue, perhaps Mrs. Colwood hoped! of revolt.
