"Well," said the Zulu captain, "it seems that we must fight the fight of 'sit-down, and since these rock-rabbits will not let us come to them we must wait till they come to us to ask for water." So they waited for seven whole days, setting guards about the mountain in case there should be secret ways of egress of which they knew nothing.
Hot vegetables are never served, except green pease with some other dish. Beef, except in the form of a fillet, is never seen at a "sit-down" supper, and even a fillet is rather too heavy. Lobster in every form is a favorite supper delicacy, and the grouse; snipe, woodcock, teal; canvasback, and squab on toast, are always in order.
She moved about in that pleasant bustle of reception so natural to women. Cargill slid down into a chair in his disjointed fashion. "We came to attend the intellectual sit-down." "Why, that doesn't meet to-night! It meets every other Friday, and this is the other Friday." "Oh, is it? So much the better; we will see you alone." Ida turned gravely to Bradley. "Mr. Cargill is not often in this mood.
It was a bestial climb in the dusk. On my way back I saw some strange-looking figures in the grounds of a chateau. So I opened my throttle and thundered past. Later I found that the figures belonged to the rest of the motor-cyclists. The chateau ought to have been our H.Q., and arriving there they had been entertained to a sit-down tea and a bath.
The sexton should see to it that the white ribbon is stretched across the aisle, that the awning and carpet are in place, and it would be well if the police regulations could extend to the group of idlers who crowd around the church door, to the great inconvenience of the guests. A wedding invitation requires no answer, unless it be to a sit-down wedding breakfast.
"It makes me too tired," said Kitty, throwing herself on the couch, and fanning her hot little face with her handkerchief. "Let's play a sit-down game." "But we can play those after we have to be quiet," objected King. "Get up, Kit, you'll fall asleep if you lie there." "No, I won't," said Kitty, opening her eyes very wide, but cuddling to the soft pillow. "Yes, you will, too! Come on.
They should be sent out a fortnight before the wedding-day, and are not to be answered unless the guests are requested to attend a "sit-down" breakfast, when the answer must be as explicit as to a dinner. Those who cannot attend the wedding send or leave their visiting-cards either on the day of the wedding or soon after.
If a sit-down wedding breakfast has been arranged, it occurs about half an hour after the parties return from church. This often makes much amusement, and breaks in on the formality. Of course his waiting is very much of a sinecure and a joke. The table for a wedding breakfast of this sort should be of a horseshoe shape.
Two o'clock is also a very good hour for a large and informal general lunch, if a lady wishes to avoid the expense, formality, and trouble of a "sit-down" lunch. While the busy ladies can go to a matin,e, the busy gentleman cannot; and as men of leisure in America are few, a morning entertainment at a theatre or in society is almost always an assemblage of women.
There was the long table laid out again, with a regular sit-down meal; cream cheese, and cake, and blackberries, and a big plate of honey; some curious kind of smoked meat cut very thin, and the potatoes which I'd smelled frying. "What an odd tea!" I thought. But the oddest part was that after all there wasn't any tea.
