The grandson lent himself gayly to pleasure-making, and they were just changing the cards for their books, when one of the elder friends of the house appeared, one of the two or three left who called Mrs. Burton Margaret, and was greeted affectionately as Henry in return. This guest always made the dear lady feel young; he himself was always to the front of things, and had much to say.
They just amuse themselves or have some fad of pleasure-making like fast horses." "Such men ought never to have been born, sir. They only cumber the mills and the market-places, the courts of law and the courts of the church yes, even the wide spaces of the ocean." "Are you not a bit hard, Captain?" "No; I am not hard enough.
Since Haslau had been a princely residence no one could remember any event the birth of the heir apparent excepted that had been awaited with such curiosity as the opening of the Van der Kabel will. Van der Kabel might have been called the Haslau Croesus and his life described as a pleasure-making mint, or a washing of gold sand under a golden rain, or in whatever other terms wit could devise.
If Rudyard had not gone to South Africa, that one five months a year and more ago, when she was left alone, restless, craving for amusement and excitement and she was going to say romance, but there was no romance in those sordid hours of pleasure-making, when she plucked the fruit as it lay to her hand ah, if only Rudyard had not gone to South Africa then!

But what the instinct means unless, like our own dancing, it is a pure bit of pleasure-making, as crows play games and loons swim races nobody can tell. Before the young were fully grown, and while yet they were following the mother to learn the ways of frogging and fishing, a startling thing occurred which made me ever afterwards look up to Quoskh with honest admiration.

He was more in tune with the life she had known. Hamburg, Baden, Wiesbaden, and all the other Bads, even Monaco, would have suited Montjoie well enough. The trade of pleasure-making has its affinities like every other, and a tramp on his way from fair to fair is more en rapport with a duke than the world dreams of.
And they glory and take pride in the knowledge that they are helping to fill a place in the munitions factories or in some other necessary war work. Do not look along the Scottish roads for folk riding in motor cars for pleasure. Indeed, you will waste your time if you look for pleasure-making of any sort in Scotland to-day.
