1 So much the previous evening had told her.
2 I never saw you look better than you did this evening.
3 But the close of the short dreary evening left her with a sense of effort hopelessly wasted.
4 In her stuffy room at the hotel to which she had gone on landing, Lily Bart that evening reviewed her situation.
5 It was as though all the weariness of the past months had culminated in the vacuity of that interminable evening.
6 She was dining with Mrs. Fisher, who had gathered at an informal feast a few of the performers of the previous evening.
7 Mrs. Fisher's experience guarded her against the mistake of exposing Lily, for the first evening, to the unmitigated impression of Rosedale's personality.
8 In the cold slant of light reflected from the back wall of a neighbouring building, she saw her evening dress and opera cloak lying in a tawdry heap on a chair.
9 In the evening also Lily found herself alone, for her aunt, who rarely dined out, had responded to the summons of a Van Alstyne cousin who was passing through town.

15 At the same moment a hansom halted at the curb-stone, and one of the figures floated down to it in a haze of evening draperies; while the other, black and bulky, remained persistently projected against the light.
16 Selden's sense of the privilege of being included in such company brought him early in the evening to the door of the restaurant, where he paused to scan the ranks of diners approaching down the brightly lit terrace.
17 She was still languid from her brief sleep and the exhilaration of the evening, and the sight of Selden's writing brought back the culminating moment of her triumph: the moment when she had read in his eyes that no philosophy was proof against her power.
