Somerled and Miss MacDonald will not be lunching," said Aline icily. Moore hid surprise by retiring in decorous haste. "Good-bye, Mrs. West," said Somerled. He held out his hand, looking at her steadily, but she turned and rushed away from him, crying. When the Great Surprise happened, Mr. Norman and I had just been having a very nice talk.
Whether he was lunching at the Mausoleum Club with one of his church wardens, or playing the flute which he played as only the episcopal clergy can play it accompanied on the harp by one of the fairest of the ladies of his choir, or whether he was dancing the new episcopal tango with the younger daughters of the elder parishioners, he threw himself into it with all his might.
After lunching or dining at one of the great New York restaurants he had carried away the impression of a tremendously fashionable school in uniform the women distinguished in appearance beyond those of any other American city, but utterly unindividual.
The two were lunching together when the half-brothers-in-law entered the dining-room, and attracted by George's forefinger, sat down at their table, Val with his shrewd eyes and charming smile, Jon with solemn lips and an attractive shyness in his glance. There was an air of privilege around that corner table, as though past masters were eating there. Jon was fascinated by the hypnotic atmosphere.
Was there in the whole world, even among the most wretched beggars that were dying of starvation, whom nature squeezes in a vice, as it were, or among the victims of love, anybody who could say that he was more wretched than I? This morning Count de Saulnac, who was lunching here, told us a terrible story of a rape, for which a man is to be tried in a few days.

I've promised the doctor I'll give those nuts and grasses of his a fair trial, and I can do it pretty well when I'm alone with Aline; but to have to sit by and see somebody else eating real food would be trying me too high." Lord Emsworth murmured sympathetically.

Some were lunching, standing at the bar, or sitting at the table; others were walking up and down the long room, smoking cigarettes, and talking with friends whom they had not seen for a long while.
After lunching in the midst of a noisy and vulgar throng, I regained the open country, with the conviction that, should I ever decide to start off upon a serious pilgrimage, the road to Verdelais would not be the one that I would take. I now turned down towards the valley through the vines, the inevitable vines, and was soon on the banks of the Garonne.
One can get the former mended, but I guess no one can mend the latter. We are lunching early in our rooms; so I wish you good-by, Miss Champion." The Honourable Jane Champion stood on the summit of the Great Pyramid and looked around her.
But on returning from Hungary to England the practical affairs of the moment met me again halfway, at Vienna, where for a day or two I broke my journey. Ambassadors, if they know their business, are necessarily preoccupied with the present, and when lunching or dining with Sir Augustus it was not possible to forget it.
