This Baron Kessler is quite a character very clever, very artistic, very musical, and, strange to say, very superstitious. For instance, he wears an old waistcoat which has certain magical grease-spots on Fridays; on Mondays his purse must be in the left pocket of his coat, on Thursdays in his right pocket.
"All women are not princesses," he argued, "but all princesses are women." "We will be in Paris on Wednesday," Mrs. Downs told him. "The Orient Express leaves there twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, and we have taken an apartment for next Thursday, and will go right on to Constantinople." "But I thought you said you had to buy a lot of clothes there?" Carlton expostulated. Mrs.
"So have I!" said Katy. One by one the papers were collected and jumbled into a heap. Then Katy, giving all a final shake, drew out one, opened it, and read. WORD. Radishes. QUESTION. How do you like your clergymen done? How do I like them done? Well, that depends. I like them done on sleepy, drowsy Sundays; I like them under-done on other days; Perhaps a little over-done on Mondays.
Stormy Mondays happened when clothes would not dry, entailing Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Thursdays of interrupted and irregular service elsewhere.
'It don't sometimes look to me as if Mary has her natural rightful feelin's. She don't put on an apron o' Mondays 'thout being druv to it in the kitchen or the hen-house.

Hedwig shook her head. "There no letters were this morning, mein Fraulein. Not one at all." "That's queer! All right." Hedwig was waved away. "I wonder if anything is the matter? Of course there isn't only there haven't been three Mondays since I left here that John's letter didn't come on the early mail." She straightened a rose that was falling out of a jar and stood off to watch the effect.

She is the admiration of the whole town, for her fasting, her austerities, and her exemplary life. Except Mondays and Fridays, she never stirs out of her little cell; and on those days on which she comes into the town she does an infinite deal of good; for there is not a person who is diseased but she puts her hand on him and cures him."
There had been many parties people broke things; people became sick in Gloria's bathroom; people spilled wine; people made unbelievable messes of the kitchenette. These things were a regular part of their existence. Despite the resolutions of many Mondays it was tacitly understood as the week end approached that it should be observed with some sort of unholy excitement.
