"It wouldn't have cost me a pang to give up if I'd been in the place of either." "I guess that's what she could never understand," Boardman mused aloud. "And I could never understand how any one could fail to see that that was what I intended expected: that it would all come out right of itself naturally." Dan was still addressing Alice in this belated reasoning.
"That'll be something interesting to show to the police tomorrow." "I understand now how a mathematician could write 'Alice in Wonderland'," Helen Nash remarked to Marion after Mr. Stanlock had withdrawn to the diningroom and his belated meal. "How is that?" the hostess inquired, looking curiously at her friend. "Why, your father, I suppose, has been thinking in terms of tons of coal all day "
They both fell silent, watching the darkened world and following their thoughts until a bugle summoned them to a belated dinner. Bert was suddenly alarmed. "Don't you 'ave to dress and things?" he said. "I've always been too hard at Science and things to go into Society and all that." "No fear," said Kurt. "Nobody's got more than the clothes they wear. We're travelling light.
Now and again, when the Roman word of command or the excited cry of some sleepless monk broke the silence, shops and doors were cautiously opened and an anxious face peered out, while belated wanderers shrunk into gateways or under the black shadow of a wall as the watch came past.

And when he and Yellin' Kid were having a belated morning cup of coffee further details of the story were told.
A few minutes later the little man was making his way back to the steamer, every step of his journey harassed by derisive shouts as he dodged between the lines of belated trucks that jammed West Street from curb to string-piece. He pushed a wheelbarrow before him, his knees bending under the load it held.
At night the savage cry of the wolf too often disturbed the rest of the scattered dwellers in that vast forest, and made a belated traveller look well to the sharpness of his weapons and the temper of his bowstring; but by day and in the sunlight the forest was beautiful and quiet enough something too quiet, perhaps, for the taste of the two handsome lads who were pacing the dim aisles together, their arms entwined and their curly heads in close proximity as they walked and talked.

Night was falling. It was scarcely possible to see the coast of Flanders by the dying fires of the sunset, or to make out upon the hither shore any forms of belated passengers hurrying along the wall of the dykes that surrounded the open country, or among the tall reeds of the marshes.
