I have unexpectedly to go into Hull, and my own car is out of order." "Run you in in quarter of an hour." "No hurry. If I am in by half past one it will do. I am lunching with Frazer at the Criterion at that time." The two-seater stopped, the big man entered, and the vehicle moved away.
Then he appeared, gaunt and miserable, in an ill-fitting blue serge suit which, in the wind, flapped about his lean body. He had the pathetic air of a lost child. On this occasion Lady Auriol and he were lunching with me she adopted a motherly attitude which afforded me both pleasure and amusement. How the Romance had progressed I could not tell.
Candy should not be given between meals, and fruit is to be looked upon as a food, not as a dainty to be consumed at all hours of the day. If they are not accustomed to lunching, there will be no craving for lunches. If children are used to four or five meals a day they want them and raise annoying objections when deprived of one or two of them. It is easy to get children into bad habits.
Hester was in the highest spirits, and as she sat waiting for the first plat, chattering, and nibbling at her roll, her black felt hat with its plume of cock feathers falling back from the brilliance of her face, she once more attracted all the attention available; from the two savants who, after a morning in the Chateau, were lunching at a farther table; from an American family of all ages reduced to silence by sheer wonder and contemplation; from the waiters, and, not least, from the hotel dog, wagging his tail mutely at her knee.
After several minutes had elapsed, we were informed that M. Corvesier was confined to his bed with a fever and was very sorry that he could not be of any service to us, but sent us his regards.

She turned quickly away. "Louis, tell mother Mr. Langston has come out to say good-by," said she, and Mrs. Cranston, not ten feet away, these being army quarters, had to appear.

I thought perhaps you'd honor me by breakfasting or lunching with me in Braska on your way," he said, hesitatingly.
He was also equipped with a wooden platter for the display of samples of his stock; and it must be said the medlars, oranges, figs of Smyrna, and the luscious green grapes in enormous clusters freshly plucked in the vineyards on the Asiatic shore over against the Isles of the Princes, were very tempting; especially so as the hour was when the whole world acknowledges the utility of lunching as a stay for dinner.
'The mare 'll do it well, he said. 'She has had her feed, and in five minutes will be saddled at the door. 'But you must eat, dear friend, said the hostess. 'I'll munch at a packet of sandwiches on the way. There seems a chance, and the time for lunching may miss it. 'You understand...? 'Everything, I fancy. 'If she is there!

I should like to go as far away as ever we can, and stay away until it is dark. Could we start directly after breakfast?" Rochester smiled. "You can have the car so far as I am concerned," he said. "I have to go over to Melton to sit on the Bench, and your aunt and I are lunching with the Delameres afterwards. But if you can put up with Vandermere as an escort!" "I'll try," she answered.
