And he placed them on a table in a small room attached to the refectory. "Well, are you satisfied?" he said, on coming back. "Certainly but, what happened this morning, how is it I was communicated by the abbot of La Trappe, when I should have been by the curate who dines with me?" "Ah!" exclaimed the monk, "I was as much surprised as you.
"You won't find a better," he cried, plunging knee-deep through the long grasses. "Anywhere's good in the sun, I say," replied Ivanoff, as from the boat he fetched the vodka, the bread, the cucumbers, and a little packet of hors d'oeuvres. All these he placed on a mossy slope in the shade of the trees, and here he lay down at full length. "Lucullus dines with Lucullus," he said.
It doesn't matter when I dine, for I have come down alone here for a few days, a week perhaps, to get the house ready for my father and his friends." "Yes, but my father dines at seven, and if there is one thing he hates it is being kept waiting for dinner." She looked as though she thought that it did not much matter whether or no Mr.
He liked most things continental; he found his social pleasures in that polite Bohemia which indulges in midnight suppers and permits ladies to smoke cigarettes after dinner, which dines at rich men's tables and is hob-a-nob with Russian Counts, Persian Ministers, and German Barons.
Corbett himself; but the branches at the public works have mostly been built by the employers, who rent it to the manager of the Cooking Depôt for a nominal sum. At the Mitchell Lane branch from 1400 to 1600 people dine daily. The Jamaica Street branch dines an almost equally large number.
She hurried away her treasures, and hastened to admit and greet him. "I have come," said he, smiling, "to beg the pleasure of your company for an old friend who dines with us to-day. But, stay, Lucy, your hair is ill-arranged. Do not let me disturb so important an occupation as your toilette; dress yourself, my love, and join us." Lucy turned, with a suppressed sigh, to the glass.
When a farmer goes to one of our little tub-mills, mentioned in previous chapters, he leaves a portion of the meal as toll. Toddick, then, is a small measure. A turn of meal is so called because "each man's corn is ground in turn he waits his turn." When one dines in a cabin back in the hills he will taste some strange dishes that go by still stranger names.
During the winter his wife receives once a fortnight, and he regularly attends the famous weekly dinners of the Princess Mathilde, and occasionally dines informally with some intimate friend; but beyond this he goes but little into society, and takes his opinions of it at second hand; with regard to which fact Sainte-Beuve once kindly remonstrated with him in an admirable letter printed in the second volume of the Correspondance.
An Oxford or Cambridge man never thinks of going back to his university except about twice a lifetime when his college formally asks him to come and dine. Then he dines as docilely as a scared Freshman. I am a D.C.L. of Oxford. I know a lot of their faculty. They are hospitality itself. But I've never yet found out one important fact about the university. They never tell me.
He expects her home, from the tenor of her letters to Mrs. Biron, so perhaps, after all, she may come. If she does, Bory and I shall prepare a reception for her. Storer is coming here to dinner. He lives now with Mr. Walpole; has his lodging at Strawberry Hill, as an antiquarian. March dines here also.
