Everybody had his glass of beer before him, or his cup of coffee, or his bottle of wine, or his hot cutlet and potatoes; young ladies chatted, or fanned themselves, or wrought at their crocheting or embroidering; the students fed sugar to their dogs, or discussed duels, or illustrated new fencing tricks with their little canes; and everywhere was comfort and enjoyment, and everywhere peace and good-will to men.
A Tramp Abroad by Twain, Mark View in context
She humoured him in silence, listening patiently by the fence; crocheting with downcast eyes.
To-morrow by Conrad, Joseph View in context
