He shook his head sadly. "We that's to zay, they as wants un hav'n't heerd tell of un vor this three year three year coom Whitsuntide as ever was " And he wiped his eyes with his cuff. "If you will tell me all about him, and where he was last heard of, I will do all I can to find him." "Will ye, noo? will ye? The Lord bless ye for zaying that."
The least farther off from us now than He was from the apostles at the first Whitsuntide? God forbid! God forbid a thousand times!
At the helm sat a boy half a child he seemed: it was Jonas, the little singing-bird, as Wilhelm had once called him. Last Whitsuntide he had been confirmed, and with his Confirmation all his singer-dreams were at an end: but that did not trouble him; on the contrary, it had lain very heavy upon his heart that he was not to be a fifer.
Cliffe began to twist his mustache, a sign she knew well. It meant that he was in truth both irritable and nervous. "You think they'll last till Whitsuntide?" "The government?" she said, smiling. "Certainly and beyond." "I give them three weeks," said Cliffe, twisting anew, with a vigor that gave her a positive physical sympathy with the tortured mustache.
She liked walking and looking down on London, she said. 'My friend and schoolmate, Selina Collett, comes to me at Whitsuntide. We have taken a house on the Upper Thames, above Marlow. You will come and see us, if you can be persuaded to leave your boys. We have a boathouse, and a bathing-plank for divers. The stream is quiet there between rich meadows.

As in other floral rites, the selection of plants varies on the Continent, branches of the elder being carried about in Savoy, and in Austrian Silesia the Maypole is generally made of fir. According to an Italian proverb, the universal lover is "one who hangs every door with May." Various plants are associated with Whitsuntide, and according to Chaucer, in his "Romaunt of the Rose":
Pastor Falk, of Berlin, is a typical fire-eater. His Whitsuntide address was an attack upon Anglo-Saxon civilisation and the urgent German mission of smashing Britain and America. The Easter sermons of hate, one of which I heard at Stettin, were especially bloodthirsty. Congregations are larger than usual on that day, which is intended to commemorate a spirit quite the opposite to hate.
I stay here till Easter, and then go on a visit to Prince Hohenzollern at Lowenberg, Silesia. From the middle of May to the beginning of June I shall pitch my tent at Leipzig, where all manner of things will happen. Later on, for Whitsuntide, grand Schiller festivities are announced here. My health, fortunately, gives me no trouble, and I have no lack of patience. The rest may come and will come.
The Bishop sat in the midst as feasting with them, now grown too feeble to wait on them, as he had always done hitherto. At Whitsuntide, 1094, he was taken ill, and lingered under a slow fever till the new year, when he died in peace and joy on the 19th of January.
Arthur was accustomed to hold his Court at Caerlleon upon Usk. And once upon a time he held his Court there at Whitsuntide. For Caerlleon was the place most easy of access in his dominions, both by sea and by land. For they were his invited guests at all the high festivals, unless they were prevented by any great hindrance.
