We reached King Williamstown on Saturday evening and called at Mr. Jabavu's house on Sunday afternoon. Jabavu said her husband had gone to Stutterheim, and would be back by a late train. On Monday morning we called at Mr. Jabavu's office, and his son whom we saw said his father would be there in the afternoon. We called in the afternoon and was told that he was inside and would see us later. We waited from 2.30 till nearly 4 p.m., chatting with his son, while Mr. Jabavu was closeted in the next room, evidently unwilling to see us.英文原著 · 《Native Life in South Africa》
On this particular afternoon she had been taking her dancing lesson, and the afternoon on which the dancing master appeared was rather a grand occasion at the seminary, though it occurred every week.

Anybody that can be influenced by a man with a big mouth, a loud voice, and a rush of words to the face - well, I've got my opinion of all such.英文原著 · 《Back Home》
Last Saturday those two desirable friends of Percy's spent the whole afternoon playing with my boys. They brought up three rifles, and each man took the lead of a camp of Indians, and passed the afternoon in a bottle shooting contest, with a prize for the winning camp. They brought the prize with them--an atrocious head of an Indian painted on leather. Dreadful taste; but the men thought it lovely, so I admired it with all the ardor I could assume.英文原著 · 《Dear Enemy》
"Well, it can't be 4 this afternoon," I argue. "It must be 4 to- morrow afternoon! That's just what a German express train would like to do--take a whole day over a six hours' job!"英文原著 · 《Diary of a Pilgrimage》
