"Are you feeling the strain, or what?" "It is nothing," said Curtis. "A run in the car will soon clear my head. Perhaps you and I might arrange for a long week-end, far away from New York." A second time did Devar look at his friend, but, being really a good-natured and sympathetic person, he repressed the imminent cry of amazement.
Like his mother he looked round with wistful irritation at the example afforded by contemporary youth, but he concentrated his attention exclusively on the richer circles of his acquaintance, young men who bought cars and polo ponies as unconcernedly as he might purchase a carnation for his buttonhole, and went for trips to Cairo or the Tigris valley with less difficulty and finance-stretching than he encountered in contriving a week-end at Brighton.
I knew you would, my boy," replied my father quietly. "Where away now, lad?" "Oh! down to the village to tell Jim and Tom not to count on me for their week-end jaunt." Another Second Son I strolled down the avenue, between the tall trees and on to the broad, sun-baked roadway leading to the sleepy little village of Brammerton, which lay so snugly down in the hollow.
He wanted the thing settled one way or another before he went. He put it off again till the next week-end. And in the meanwhile Sir Martin Crozier had seen him. He was starting in the spring and Eliot was to go with him. It was on Sunday evening that he spoke to Anne, sitting with her under the beeches at the top of the field where she and Jerrold had sat together.
And you now, which would you rather do: be in with a lot of greasy mechanics and laboring-men, or chum up to a real fellow like Lord Wycombe, and get invited to his house for parties?"

They did not sight so much as a scrap of floating wreckage. There seemed, however, a good many dhow coasters dodging about in and among the reefs, and from these Kettle presently drew a deduction. "Look here," he said to Tazzuchi one morning, "what price those gentry ashore having found the wreck already? I guess they aren't out here taking week-end trippers for sixpenny yachting cruises."
"Yes, my dear, we are really to spend a week-end in the woods if you can manage it," replied Captain Clark. "Some generous friends of mine, who have been unexpectedly called away from their place for a time, have offered to let me use it. And I could think of no better way of rewarding you four for your faithful work, than to give you this opportunity.
"Haroun el Raschid there would agree with me on that point, I have no doubt. What a shock he would get if he should happen up at Atlantic City for a week-end in August!" "Dot-dash-dot! Dot-dash-dot!

This was only Monday afternoon, and already her week-end experience had won for her many new privileges. "Yes, I like it, Mr.
Before he could reply: "So you're down for the week-end too," said a voice I should have recognized amid the hubbub of the heavenly choir. "Staying at Watereaton?" It was she. Such a pretty girl.
