Here comes another description of meals, the table at the latter being covered with 'glass, flowers and sweets, Diner a la Russe, now so completely our own fashion. 'A general welcome to the board is first given, and on rising from table we shake hands all round and the words, "much good may it do you" often accompanies this greeting. This again reminds one of the German gesegnete Mahlzeit.
I have turned the whole situation over in my mind; I have omitted not the slightest detail. I know men, and I have never made a mistake in judging them. Mahlzeit!” With that he went out. Theresa remained seated for a while, her arms folded across her breast. Then she got up, and walked over to the door that opened on to the court.
All these things must remain problematical for Mantovani cannot tell, and the Marquesa del Puente will not if indeed she knows. Professor Hauptmann dropped wearily into his chair at the noisy Milanese table d'hôte and snarled out a surly "Mahlzeit" to the assembled feasters.

At the end of the meal, in many households, it is the custom to bow and kiss your hostess's hand and say "Mahlzeit," a shortened form of "May the meal be blessed to you." You also shake hands with the other guests and say "Mahlzeit."
The horses are taken back to their racks and the men separate, wishing one another the inevitable Mahlzeit. As he walks with me along the quays of the black and muddy Wupper, Krall says: "It is a pity that you did not see Zarif in one of his better moods. He is sometimes more startling than Muhamed and has given me two or three surprises that seem incredible.
He had ignored his mess-mates at their second-class table; but when the new passengers from Colombo came to dinner, he heard behind him the swish of stiff skirts, felt some one brush his shoulder, and saw, sliding into the next revolving chair, the vision of a lady in white.
