You must not look for any dancing or festivity or entertainment of guests, for our gala times are still in the air.
Poor Folk by Dostoyevsky, Fyodor View in context
Friday afternoon was always the time chosen for dialogues, songs, and recitations, but it cannot be stated that it was a gala day in any true sense of the word.

Twenty Years After by Dumas, Alexandre View in context
