The evening promised to be glamorous and trivial, a perfect antidote to her daily work.

So the evening promised to be, well, familiar.

We make no evening promises to be broken at dawn.

This evening did not promise to be as happy or as satisfying.

The evening promised to be a highly entertaining one!

Altogether the afternoon and evening promised to be more amusing than Diogenes had anticipated.

And so an evening of her own choreography, presented on Friday night, promised much.

As if their evening together didn't promise to be difficult enough!

The evening promised to be rough going for anyone who, like me, feels faint at the sight of a paper cut.

The heavy clouds were beginning to break a little towards the west and the evening promised to be fine.
