I doubt if she knew anything whatever. Durgin was much too shrewd to trust her, I fancy." As the speakers struck into the principal street, through the lower and busier end of which they were obliged to pass, Mr. Taggett caused a sensation. The drivers of carts and the pedestrians on both sidewalks stopped and looked at him.
But all the opportunities she yet had were less than was needful for the development of such a mind as Dorothy's, which, powerful in itself, needed to be roused, and was slow in its movements except when excited by a quick succession of objects, or the contact of a kindred but busier nature. It was lacking not only in generative, but in self-moving energy.
"He must be very busy," the salesman says. "When shall I be most likely to find him free?" "He's no busier now than usual," the girl responds. "He's smoking a cigar and looking out the window." "Will you tell him, please, that I am coming back to-morrow at the same time?" The girl sees that he is very much in earnest.
Since the Gropphusen's flirtation with Major Schrader a winter ago, she had furnished no cause of scandal. All the busier now were the evil tongues. It was not long before the subalterns began to make more or less pointed remarks, half jestingly, to Reimers. Little Dr. von Fröben shook his finger at him, and let fly a solitary shaft: "Aye, aye, still waters run deep!" he said.
The narrow, squalid, little street was deserted, and the sound of wheels in the busier thoroughfare at the end was very intermittent. Lightmark buttoned his gloves deliberately, and drew a long breath of the night air before he broke the silence.
But school is out and the summer sun is putting new life into the bare feet of the half-grown boys, and the halfbreed bird dogs are busier than they were even in winter. The young rabbits are killed before they get out of the nest, and the quail eggs must be hidden rarely well that escape both the eyes of the boys and the noses of the dogs.
Somebody must do the running and the shouting to relieve the instincts of older and busier people, who must pretend as if they didn't care. All this kept Miss Belinda Bree from utterly wearing out at her dull work in the great warerooms, or now and then at days' seamstressing in families. It really keeps a great many people from wearing out. Miss Bree's work was dull.
Two-thirds of his time is spent round the docks." "Well, two-thirds of his time in 1915 will not be spent round the docks, Skinner. Play that bet to win! We're going to have a busy old year in the shipping game in 1915, and a busier one in 1916 if that war in Europe isn't over by then.
The wondrous old schooner was never busier, no, not in the heyday of her flag, when her guns were blazing and her people yelling. I doubt whether even a man-of-war could have given this work the despatch the whaler furnished. She had eight boats and sixty men, and every boat was afloat and alongside us ready to carry what she could to the ship.
In the spirit world, I continued my work preaching to my fellowmen, and preparing them to receive that which was and is being done for them by others. And now, I find, that I am busier than ever. We are teachers, directors, leaders, judges, and our field is all the earth."
