At seven o'clock, the four members ascended to the clubroom, tied their badges round their heads, and took their seats with great solemnity.

In the drawing-room and clubroom and ballroom, where people of leisure and education come together, where comedy is bred and shades of character revealed, he is awkward and ill at ease.

There were the business-like, with their little bags; there were the drifters rattling sticks upon area railings;there were affable characters to whom the streets serve for clubroom, hailing men in carts and giving information without being asked for it.

有一些公务员， 带着他们的小包；有流浪者在区域栏杆上发出嘎嘎声； 有蔼可亲的物， 街道为俱提供服务，招呼手推车的， 并在没有被要求的情况下提供信息。
