In term-time we were obliged to go morning and evening to the long services, which never made any concessions to youthful capacities. So in holiday-time, though it was essential that we should go in the morning to represent the house, we were permitted to stay home in the evening.
But perhaps, in the circumstances, it is best. You must come and stay here again, later on," he said, handing her the lit candle. "Not in term-time, though," he added. "No," she echoed, "not in term-time." From the shifting gloom of the stair-case to the soft radiance cast through the open door of her bedroom was for poor Zuleika an almost heartening transition.
'Tis then term-time with your cucullated pieces of formality that have one face to God and another to the devil; and a wretched clutter they make with their sessions, stations, pardons, syntereses, confessions, whippings, anathematizations, and much prayer with as little devotion.
The dreadful tradition persists that he had been known at table to put his own knife into the butter. How safe to assume that many things were said commiserating poor Mrs. Lincoln who had a bear for a husband. And some people noticed that Lincoln did not come home at week-ends during term-time as often as he might. Perhaps it meant something; perhaps it did not.
"Ay, this comes of talking in metaphor," rejoined Brandon, smiling; "they who begin it always get the worst of it. In plain words, dear Lucy, I can give no more time to my own ailments. A lawyer cannot play truant in term-time without " "Losing a few guineas!" said Lucy, interrupting him. "Worse than that, his practice and his name." "Better those than health and peace of mind."
In term-time we hardly see each other at all, we are both so horribly busy. How do you find time to do all these things?" "I don't find it, I steal it," Hugh answered. "If I waited to find time I should never have enough to be useful. To-day is a half- holiday, and I am supposed to be learning Roman history and writing out five hundred lines. But I'm not," he added unnecessarily.
It may be said, therefore, that in spite of these occasional troubles the relations between town and gown have been on the whole surprisingly normal and friendly when we consider that at present over one-fourth of the total population of Ann Arbor during term-time is composed of students.
Trevor could never understand how any one could find term-time dull. For his own part, there always seemed too much to do in the time. "You aren't allowed to play games?" he said, remembering something about a doctor's certificate in the past. "No," said Ruthven. "Thank goodness," he added. Which remark silenced Trevor.
I repeated, when my medical adviser had done. "My good friend, are you aware that it is term-time? The courts are sitting. Look at the briefs waiting for me on that table! Rest means ruin in my case." "And work," added the doctor, quietly, "means death." I started. He was not trying to frighten me: he was plainly in earnest. "It is merely a question of time," he went on.
"Young gentleman, this is not well," he said. "By what authority have you absented yourself from the walls of Alma Mater during term-time?" "I conceived that it was unnecessary to ask leave at such a conjuncture, and when the head of the institution was himself in the saddle," replied Edward. "It was a fault, it was a fault," said Dr.
