Jackson, of Dexter's, was teaing with Linton, and, as was his habit, was giving him a condensed history of his life since he last saw him. In the course of this he touched on a small encounter with M. Gaudinois which had occurred that afternoon. "So I got two pages of 'Quatre-Vingt Treize' to write," he concluded, "for doing practically nothing."
You'd better rush off and get it back as soon as possible. It's no good waiting for me. I shan't be ready for weeks." "Teaing with Donaldson. At least, he said he was going to." "Then I suppose I shall have to go alone. I hate walking alone." "If you hurry," said Clowes, scanning the road from his post of vantage, "you'll be able to go with your fascinating pal Ruthven. He's just gone out."
And there Fanny, sitting forward suddenly, gave a little cry. "Why they're marching yet!" she said, and her voice was high with wonder. "They're marching yet! All the time we've been driving and teaing, they've been marching." And so they had. Thousands upon thousands, they had flowed along as relentlessly, and seemingly as endlessly as a river. They were marching yet.
I don't know what you call giving the best one has got. But you know I work from eight in the morning until midnight, often and often. Oh, I don't say that someone else couldn't do my work just as well. And I don't say, either, that it doesn't include a lot of dashing up and down Fifth Avenue, and teaing at the Ritz, and meeting magnificent Missions, and being cooed over by Lady Millionaires.
I am a dreadful failure, Poppy, a dreadful, dreadful failure, and I cannot look any one in the face. Do come out with me, dear Poppy, and at once; for if I can't speak to you at the present moment my heart will break." "They're teaing just now," said Poppy, in a reflective tone; "they are all in the dining-room as snug as possible over their high tea.
An electric bell rang out as they were lighting their cigarettes, and a moment later Hal danced into the room with shining eyes and glowing cheeks. A few paces from the door she stopped suddenly. "Hullo, Baby," she said, addressing Hermon, "where have you sprung from?" "I found it wandering alone in Sloane Street," Lorraine remarked, "and now we've been teaing together."
It is no proper rest for the mind to clatter from town to town in the dust and cinders, and examine galleries and architecture, and be always meeting people and lunching and teaing and dining, and receiving worrying cables and letters. And a sea voyage on the Atlantic is of no use voyage too short, sea too rough.

"Acton and Bourne teaing together like two birds on a bough!" he gasped. "That would be a funny sight," said Cherry. "Birds don't take tea." "Write an epilogue, Fruity. Teaing together as friendly as Grim and I might." "Only that," said W.E. Grim, with a genial wink, "my opinion is, that Hinton's been on the drink, and seen double."
But I could stand a great deal of pain if need be, and I hope that if it came to anything like right or wrong I should act conscientiously. In society, I shouldn't mind any amount of dancing or dining or teaing, and I should be willing to take my part in the lighter athletics. But," she ended, as she began, with a sigh, "I'm not wanted."
