Excerpt from Lord Ormont and His Aminta, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel
A procession of schoolboys having to meet a procession of schoolgirls on the Sunday"s dead march, called a walk, round the park, could hardly go by without dropping to a hum in its chatter, and the shot of incurious half-eyes at the petticoated creatures - all so much of a swarm unless you stare at them like lanterns. The boys cast a glance because it relieved their heaviness; things were lumpish and gloomy that day of the week.
