"There were no rates for the poor in my grandfather's time," says one writer, "the church-ale of Whitsuntide did the business"; and whether the parishioners had to pay a tax for the support of the King's army, or to repair the church, or to maintain some orphan children, it was generally found "that something still remained to cover the bottom of the purse."
He begins to walk dreamily round the place at Easter. At Whitsuntide he brings down an iron vessel containing unmelted solder, and early in July the pump is mended. This mending of the pump is one of the epochs of Hythe, a sure harbinger of the approaching season.
"She dyed her fair skin with walnut, wore russet gown and hood, and was a very nightingale for blitheness and sweet song through that first year," said Henry; "blither than ever when that little one was born in the sunshiny days of Whitsuntide. I tell thee, those were happier days than ever I passed as Lord de Montfort at Kenilworth.
Rawlinson, and with them went to the tatter's house to dinner, and there had a good dinner of cold meat and good wine, but was troubled in my head after the little wine I drank, and so home to my office, and there did promise to drink no more wine but one glass a meal till Whitsuntide next upon any score.

Something in this simple lament it sounded natural and perfectly unstudied seemed straightway to make a great impression on her. "You shall wait no longer," she said after a short silence. "What do you mean by no longer?" "Give me about five weeks say till the Whitsuntide recess." "Five weeks are a great deal," smiled Nick. "There are things to be done you ought to understand."

Ralston, may be found in the song which the Russian girls sing as they go out into the woods to fetch the birch tree at Whitsuntide, and to gather flowers for wreaths and garlands: "Rejoice not, oaks; Rejoice not, green oaks. Not to you go the maidens; Not to you do they bring pies, Cakes, omelettes. To you go the maidens! To you they bring pies, Cakes, omelettes."
'I bought him a new sukmana at Whitsuntide, he can keep that on, of course, but I must have the sheepskin back, because it has been bought with money I have earned in the sweat of my brow, Tomekowa replied calmly. 'Have it back, you mangy dog, have it back? screamed Antkowa. 'I'll give it you, you'll see what you will have... and she looked round for an object that would serve her purpose.
But about a fortnight before Whitsuntide some tales of young Ancoats had suddenly reached Maxwell's ears, with such effect that on his next meeting with Ancoats's mother he practically invited himself and Marcella greatly to Mrs. Allison's surprise to Castle Luton for Whitsuntide. For the boy had been Maxwell's ward, and Henry Allison had been the intimate friend and comrade of Maxwell's father.
He had meant to have his talk with Eleanor on the morning next after their conversation in the dining-room, but his bodily and spiritual anaemia prevented him.
