The Monroe girls still wandered down town on weekday mornings, loitering into the post-office, idling an hour away in the Library, drifting home to mutton stew or Hamburg steak when the clock in the town hall struck twelve.
So I said nothing but, 'Well, let me know if ever I can be any use, and we parted at the top of Surrey Street. We have evensong at five at St. Christopher's. No one conies much. The people in the parish aren't the weekday church sort.
'I'm no preacher, said Deb meditatively, 'and I don't live a saintly life, so it's no good my settin' myself above my fellows, but Patty and me has our Bibles out once every weekday, and most of all Sundays we're readin' it, so I'll make so bold as to pass you a verse that I did a powerful lot of thinkin' over last Sunday.
For an indefinite period the sinner would be a subject of intercession at evening prayers. The weekday life was in keeping with the Knickerbocker Sabbath. Home was the family castle, over which parental authority ruled with an iron hand. Hospitality was genuine and whole-hearted; but tempered by frugal moderation. Strict punctuality was demanded of every member of the household.
To the offending of sundry important relatives from a distance, Mr. Critchlow informally presided over that assemblage of grave men in high stocks and crinolined women.

Poor Nabob, melted by the music and the display, it seemed to him that he was burying all his fortune, all his ambition for dignity and renown. And even that was one variety of indifference. In the public the gratification of a gorgeous spectacle, the joy of making a Sunday of a weekday, dominated every other feeling.
In an article of Internet Wire, February, 1998, Merrill Brown, editor-in-chief of on-line MSNBC, wrote: "The Internet news usage behavior pattern is shaping up similar to broadcast television in terms of weekday use, and is used more than cable television, newspapers and magazines during that same period of time.
None of you fellers were ever at our house, even when we had one of our common weekday dinners." First, of course, we'll lay the foundation like with a nice, juicy loin roast, and some mashed potatos. The way may mother does is to pare the potatos, and lay them in the pan along with the beef.
