But they do them all too much alike. Still they do get much pleasure out of them and much instruction too. Then we are invited to twice as many private dinners and luncheons as we can attend. At these, these people are at their best. But it is yet quite confusing. A sea of friendly faces greets you you can't remember the names.
And I rather dread the idea of weaning them. If I had somebody to look after them I could, I suppose, get a breast-pump and leave their mid-morning and mid-afternoon luncheons in cold-storage for them, and so ride my tractor without interruption. I remember a New York woman who did that, left the drawn milk of her breast on ice, so that she might gad and shop for a half-day at a time.
Leslie knew that Norma hated girls' luncheons; Annie asked Hendrick idly why he supposed the child was always taking long walks or saying that she took long walks and Hendrick, later speculating himself as to the inaccessibility of Chris, was perhaps the first in the group to suspect the truth.
Never mind how much our backs ache or our hands smart. Do you agree?" "I'll fight any fellow in the crowd who doesn't agree," announced Tom Reade. "You can't get up a fight with me on that score," retorted Greg. The others also quickly assented to Dave's plan. By and by the youngsters halted for half an hour to eat the luncheons they had brought with them. Then they went at their work again.
"And your meals?" "I get my own breakfast, and go down to Sixth Avenue for my luncheons and dinners. There is an excellent little restaurant quite near, you see,—conducted by a very estimable Southern lady in reduced circumstances. Her husband is a Northerner, however, and she doesn't see a great deal of him. I understand he is a person of very uncertain habits. They say he gambles.
Dances, dinners, luncheons, afternoon teas, "functions" to no end, and all delightful. Aunt Elizabeth writes to me, but I have never heard a word from Jack. He seems to have forgotten my existence completely. No doubt he has consoled himself with Mary Carter. Well, that is all for the best, but I must say I did not think Jack could have forgotten me so soon or so absolutely.
I wanted to have them in for dinners and luncheons people I haven't seen for years. She knows them. She can't excuse herself on that ground. She knows you." He stopped short and eyed the minister, a slow grin spreading over his face. "The last time you were at my house I had a good mind to walk in and make your acquaintance, then and there. I heard you talking to her.
As calling was a serious business in San Francisco, she compromised by the ancient clearing-house device of an occasional large "At Home," besides her usual dinners and luncheons. When Masters was a dinner guest he paid her only the polite attentions due a hostess and flirted elaborately with the prettiest of the women.
At six o'clock the following morning Halstead, Addison and I set out to drive them to Lovell. The old Squire had been up since three o'clock, feeding the flock with hay and provender for the drive; he told us that he would follow later in the day with a team to bring us home after our long walk. The girls put us up luncheons in little packages, which we stowed in our pockets.
To be a guest at one of Sir Lucy's luncheons was for an American to meet on familiar terms with distinguished men whom he knew all about and was most anxious to see and hear. At a large dinner I had a pleasant encounter with Sir Henry. In order to meet another engagement, he tried to slip quietly out while I was speaking.
