"One grand good sailing-party in 'The Swallow, before they get here." "Hurrah for that! Annie was wishing for one, only yesterday." "We'll have all of your folks and all of ours. 'The Swallow' is plenty big enough." "Mother wouldn't go, and father can't just now. He's trying a case. But there's Annie and Frank and me" "And my mother, and Ham and Miranda, and our girls. Ham'll go, sure.
Joy would have said "my dear" to Queen Victoria or the Empress of China, if she had ever had the chance of an interview with those potentates, "you've come to a charming place and to charming relatives, I'm sure, and you can't fail to enjoy your summer. You must come with your cousins to-morrow to this sailing-party which my young folks are getting up. They'll be delighted, I'm sure."
Prince Louis, of France, who having been out the day before on a sailing-party, had been descried, and seized as an invaluable booty by the Red Reaver.

A fading spring lily dropped on the doorstep by one of the children received an impatient kick, as though he would dismiss the present conversation in a similar manner. "Rose," he said, "I wish you would ask Wanda to our sailing-party to-morrow." "Why, Edward, I might as well ask a blue-bird. She will come if it happens to suit her inclination at the moment, otherwise not."
Redmond had no acquirements, he knew enough by nature, and I never saw a person with more fascination of manner and voice. The evening before the sailing-party, I had a melancholy fit. I was restless, and after dark I put a shawl over my head and went out to walk. I went up a lonesome road, beyond our house.
