Somehow, the titles affected Basil as of older date than the late war, and as belonging to the militia period; and he imagined for the agent the romance of a life spent at a watering-place, in contact with rich money-spending, pleasure-taking people, who formed his whole jovial world.

Sometimes not often, however he beguiled him into some quiet pleasure-taking out of the house, to while away the time. Having given up his own room for the garret, he now gave up his garret a matter of greater self-denial to share his own room with Morely, that the garret might be made a place for evening work.
Besides all this, there were charming studies to be gone through every day with Hugh some for aunt Lucy to hear, some for masters and mistresses. There were amusing walks in the Boulevards, and delicious pleasure-taking in the gardens of Paris, and a new world of people, and manners, and things, and histories, for the little American.
When he stepped into a crockery store to make his purchase a sense of pleasure-taking did not fail him, and he fell naturally into talk with the clerk about the weather and such pastoral topics.

He had no time for pleasure-taking; no heart to smile at the passing foibles or merry humours of his fellow-men. Such was the Rev. Mr.
That is why the dances are open to all, why the formality of introductions would be scoffed at. Their blood has all been tapped from the same fountain head. There are affinities between all Viennese phagocytes. The basis of all romance is ephemeral in its nature, and in no people in the world do we find so great an element of transitoriness in pleasure-taking as in the Viennese.
"Yes, true, but that is only six." "And the day you went up the mountain with the party?" "Yes." "And the twice you staid away because it stormed?"
