Their remoteness and unpunctuality, or their exorbitant charges and frauds, will be drawing forth bitter lamentations."
He was ever late for business or pleasure, and my aunt was always rating him for his unpunctuality. She will not do so again, for assuredly it has saved his life." The men came in but slowly, for the bands had all dispersed to their homes, and it was only those who lived within a few miles who could arrive in time.

She said, 'I know you are sorry, under her breath, and then she broke away, and ran indoors, and upstairs to the solitude of her own room.

When the time came to start for the ball Gifford went down to see his friend off and to repeat his orders concerning the immediate delivery of his suit-case when it should arrive. Henshaw was in the hall, bulking big in a fur coat and complaining in a masterful tone of the unpunctuality of his fly.
