When they had drunk that special Chinese tea, all the rage, but which no one really liked, in the inner morning, or afternoon room for the drawing-rooms were too large to be comfortable except at week-ends they went to see the children, a special blend of Stanley and Clara, save the little Francis, who did not seem to be entirely body. Then Clara took them to their rooms.
It happened to me not so long ago to be travelling in company of which I was very much ashamed; and to be ashamed of one's company is to be a snob. Florence Barclay. In order to do this I had to study the works of these famous authors, and for many week-ends in succession I might have been seen travelling to, or returning from, the country with a couple of their books under my arm.
"To meet the competition of the nerve specialists, you'll have to be very explicit and tell me exactly what to do." "Right there is one of your troubles living by fixed schedules. You've never felt the world's rough hand; you don't know life! Clubs and sanatoriums and week-ends in comfortable houses don't count. You're a tremendously formal person, Mr. Bennett!
And how would it suit with week-ends and dances for Helena?" "It wouldn't suit at all," he said, perplexed "though Helena seems to have thrown over dancing for the present." "That won't last long!" He laughed. "I am afraid you never took to her!" he said lightly. "She never took to me!" "I wonder if that was my fault? She suspected that I had called you in to help me to keep her in order!"
"And things have happened. "You might go down now and talk to her," he said, in a directer voice. "I shall be down to-morrow night, I think." He looked up as though he hoped that would end our talk. "For the week-end?" I asked. "For the week-end. Thank God for week-ends, George!"

I was going to and fro about Tono-Bungay the business I had taken up to secure Marion and which held me now in spite of our intimate separation and snatching odd week-ends and nights for Orpington, and all the while I struggled with these obstinate interrogations. I used to fall into musing in the trains, I became even a little inaccurate and forgetful about business things.

Annie was still a junior teacher in the Board-school, earning about four shillings a week.

It indicated most clearly the state of his appetite that gesture and Steve could not help but smile a little as he refused. "No more than the usual disturbances," he answered. "I have more or less trouble holding them some of them over the week-ends, of course. But then that's always to be expected.
Oh, well, then you'll give a lot of big week-ends at your place down in the Shatter-country that's where the swells all go to in the summer time, ain't it? But I dunno what your ma would say if she knew you were going to live on with HIS folks after you're done honey-mooning.
