It was a tropical holiday that sail down to Cuba a strange, huge pleasure-trip of steamships, sailing in a lordly column of three; at night, sailing always, it seemed, in a harbour of brilliant lights under multitudinous stars and over thickly sown beds of tiny phosphorescent stars that were blown about like flowers in a wind-storm by the frothing wake of the ships; by day, through a brilliant sunlit sea, a cool breeze so cool that only at noon was the heat tropical and over smooth water, blue as sapphire.
"I think we might find them convenient stopping places; besides, you know this isn't only a pleasure-trip. We have to add as much as we can to the sum of human knowledge, and so of course we shall have to find out whether the moons of Mars have atmospheres and inhabitants." "What, people living on those wee things!" she laughed. "Why they're only about thirty or forty miles round, aren't they?"
He picked out the gifted and highly-learned students, and would not waste his time in ordinary conversation. Often, when he saw a number of students going off on some empty pleasure-trip, he said to me, 'There they go with the other fellows; their motto is, "Ich gehe mit den andern."

"Oh, dear, no! we've never been on any boat before." She made a little petted mouth of deprecation, and added, simple-heartedly, "My husband was going out on business, and he thought he might as well take me along." The husband seemed to feel himself brought in by this, and said he did not see why they should not make it a pleasure-trip, too.
"That was nothing! Just a little pleasure-trip down to the eighty-sixth latitude." "And great successes?" "That was nothing either. The chief was jolly good, and the boys were bricks." "I'm so glad, so glad!" I said again, for a kind of dumb joy had taken possession of me, and I went on saying the same thing over and over again, as people do when they are very happy.
After all we have suffered we are entitled surely to a pleasure-trip, and when that's over we can return the ship to the owners if so disposed. You'll join us in that, Grummidge, won't you? And we'll make you skipper or first mate, if you're too modest to take command."
I'm really too sorry," she said, from the door, "that your visit to Hunston should have been made disagreeable in all these ways." "In the name of heaven," he said, stung into momentary recklessness, "you don't suppose that I came here expecting any fun!" "Why I had understood that it was purely a pleasure-trip that brought you here!"
"So long as the Fates graciously spare the life of my mistress, the old flag is sure to waft as many guests hither as the house is able to contain. Rhodopis is not at home now, but she must return shortly. The evening being so fine, she determined on taking a pleasure-trip on the Nile with her guests.

J. J.'s sketches were few, but he had painted two beautiful little pictures, and sold them for so good a price that Prince Polonia's people were quite civil to him. He had orders for yet more pictures, and having worked very hard, thought himself authorised to accompany Mr. Clive upon a pleasure-trip to Naples, which the latter deemed necessary after his own tremendous labours.
