Her arms drew him against her. He smelled honeysuckle, and his hands found their familiar places. "Mmm," she said, "I'll bet you're hungry." "You win." Jacky stepped back. "Good. I'm going to show off. I've been practicing my crab cakes." "Yumm." "I thought we'd eat home, relax, maybe go out later . . . I'll give you the Bay Tour tomorrow." "Finest kind," Oliver said. "Nice house.
The same thing I have done with them when I have been practicing medicine. They have been left to themselves a good deal.... Some day there will be a law compelling people to have no more than a certain amount of children, and the mothers of the land can live as they ought to live."
Before I returned to America I had discovered that there were other genuine reasons for living among the poor than that of practicing medicine upon them, and my brief foray into the profession was never resumed. The long illness left me in a state of nervous exhaustion with which I struggled for years, traces of it remaining long after Hull-House was opened in 1889.

In earlier years Mr. Delamere had been a practicing lawyer, and had numbered Miller's father among his clients.
You should come with me for a ten mile spin upon the tandem." "I am troubled about my girls." They were walking up and down in the garden. From time to time there sounded from the house behind them the long, sad wail of a French horn. "That is Ida," said he. "She has taken to practicing on that dreadful instrument in the intervals of her chemistry. And Clara is quite as bad.
She lifted out the pine and bitter-sweet to put it in every corner of her room, then another thought seized her. Except for Gyp, practicing in a half-hearted way downstairs, the house was empty. On tiptoe she stole to the different rooms, leaving in each a bit of her pine and a gay cluster of the bitter-sweet. The postman's ring brought Gyp's practice, with one awful discord, to an abrupt finish.
Brave thoughts were Peter's that snowy morning in the great salon of Maria Theresa, with the cat of the Portier purring before the fire; brave thoughts, cool reason, with Harmony practicing scales very softly while Jimmy slept, and with Anna speeding through a white world, to the accompaniment of bitter meditation.
