It is proper to offer a very substantial buffet, as people rarely lunch before two o'clock, and will be glad of a bit of bird, a cup of bouillon, or a leaf of salad. It is much better to offer such an entertainment earlier than the five-o'clock tea; at which hour people are saving their appetites for dinner. A soir,e is a far more difficult affair, and calls for more subtle treatment.
And for the last time I heard the child in him speaking: "I ought to be redeemed; I must be, don't you think, for her sake?" "Lose no time!" shouted Keredec. "You must be gone if you will reach that certain town for the five-o'clock train of the morning." This was for the spy's benefit; it indicated Lisieux and the train to Paris. Mr.
All this she said, not complainingly, but in her usual twittering manner of imparting information, as though it were an incident of a five-o'clock tea, but Lydia felt a pang of remorse for her usual thoughtless attitude of exasperated hilarity over Miss Burgess' peculiarities.
Will you have some choc'late?" with a winning smile that ran all over her dirty face and wrinkled it up alarmingly. "Oh, no, she's my child," protested Phronsie, the tears beginning again. "I mean till I get through my five-o'clock tea," cried the girl; "can't you understand? Then she'll be yours, an' I'll take you home.
I am looking forward to the time when we men shall have nothing to do but lie in bed till twelve, read two novels a day, have nice little five-o'clock teas all to ourselves, and tax our brains with nothing more trying than discussions upon the latest patterns in trousers and arguments as to what Mr. Jones' coat was made of and whether it fitted him. It is a glorious prospect for idle fellows.
I know how mean it sounds, but it is just the truth about Etta. And if I were to drop in for five-o'clock tea, as you say, Leah would be sure to make her appearance and say I was wanted at Gladwyn. I found Lady Betty's confidential speeches rather embarrassing, and when I knew her a little better I took her to task rather seriously for her want of reticence.
The broker is to be at his house in the Champs Elysees at five-o'clock we must be there before him. This very morning La Chouette repeated it to us."

"He's gone to St. Paul-won't be back till the five-o'clock train. Do you need some money this morning? How much?" "All of it, sir. Every cent." Sanford saw something was out of gear. He tried to explain. "I've sent your son to St.
They luncheoned together; in the early afternoon there was an Investiture, and she was there; for "five-o'clock" there was a Gounod concert in the theatre, and she sat in his box; at night the Bulgarian Ambassador gave a ball, and she danced a gavotte with him.
