We'll have some river picnics, too, and breakfasts at the Orchard. There's lots to be done in summer, but just now there's nothing on but teas. You must come to tea in my rooms. I've got a slap-up study." He turned towards Mrs Reeves and addressed her with confident familiarity. "Mrs Reeves will play chaperon, and I'll promise you the best cakes that Cambridge can produce."
Even our pleasures have come to be taken sadly. We are irritable at picnics, snarly at clambakes, and bored to death at dinners. The Government ought to hire Douglas Fairbanks, and send him over the country as an agent of the Bureau of Grins. Have him start work in Boston, and then rush him by special train to Philadelphia.
The boat got into Portland at nine o'clock, and Mavering left her, taking his hand-bag with him, and letting his trunk go on to Boston. The officer who received his ticket at the gangplank noticed the destination on it, and said, "Got enough?" "Yes, for one while." Mavering recognised his acquaintance of the night before. "Don't like picnics very much." "No," said Mavering, with abysmal gloom.
They'll come back lots better than they'd be if they had to stay here through all this hot. "Think of being shut up three months in the house so's they couldn't plant gardens or go flower-hunting, or have picnics, or even go to school! I've been doing all those things while they've been sick. I'm truly 'shamed of myself to be so cross about their going off.
Mary Lou went with her to the ferry, when the Sunday came, just for a ride on the hot day, and the two, being early, roamed happily over the great ferry building, watching German and Italian picnics form and file through the gateways, and late-comers rush madly up to the closing doors.
Although tourists generally affect this country in the open season, a true Finlander loves the winter months as much as he dislikes the summer. In his eyes boredom, heat, and mosquitoes are a poor exchange for merry picnics on ski, skating contests, and sledge expeditions by starlight with pretty women and gay companions, to say nothing of the nightly balls and theatre and supper parties.
"'Nailed him'!" "Sure. If he nails him fur a friend, he gits customers an' picnics an' boo-kays all the time. If he don't " Bob made a wry face and an expressive gesture. The frown that had been gathering on Jim's brow fled. "Ho!" he laughed. "Don't you worry.
"Angel and I had a picnic here once, all by ourselves; and there were lots of sheep under the olive trees, and a funny old shepherd who made music to them. Oh, I do love picnics, don't you?
"I thought we were so happy," he said again, simply. "Ah, Wolf, don't think I've been fooling all this summer!" his wife pleaded, her eyes filling afresh. "I've loved it all the peach ice-cream, and the picnics, and everything. But but people can't help this sort of thing, can they? It does happen, and and they just simply have to make the best of it, don't they?
This was not the only fright at the picnic, for a little girl about Flossie's age cried when she saw a big frog in a pool, and a little boy ran screaming to his mother because a grasshopper perched on his shoulder. But things like these always happen at picnics, and when the little frights were over even the children themselves laughed at their short-lived terror.
