It is not right for me to be riding about the park with you when I have nobody belonging to me here except a man-servant." "Just as you please," he said, coolly, halting. "May I assure Janet that you wish her to marry me?" "Most certainly not. I do not wish anyone to marry you, much less my own sister. I am far inferior to Janet; and she deserves a much better husband than I do."
"Be quiet, Tiger," said Kate, halting. "Let us wait for Tiger's master, Agnes." Tiger's master appeared a moment later. One glance sufficed to show him how matters stood. He lifted his hat with a quiet smile. "Good evening, Miss Danton; good evening, Mrs. Danton. I see you have come to an understanding at last."
At most there may be a halting between two possibilities. The difficulties that still hinder the complete understanding of passages in texts, arise in part from the mutilated condition in which, unfortunately, so many of the tablets and cylinders are found, and in part from a still imperfect knowledge of the lexicography of the language.
He was about to step out of the room when his footsteps were halted by an approaching figure that tore down the aisle as if under the stress of great excitement.

Mathematical demonstrations came like halting messengers; they only became clear to the mind's eye when the truth to be demonstrated lay before me already in all its living strength.
The Otari warriors, instead of showing the usual Indian caution, came running on at headlong speed, believing that the whites were fleeing in terror; while still some three hundred yards off they raised the war-whoop and charged without halting, the foremost chiefs hallooing out that the white men were running, and to come on and scalp them.
By the time he had reached the top, Jim Weston was out of breath. Halting a moment to get his wind, he then continued along a hall until he came to an office, the door of which was opened. He entered.
"It is so fortunate and so remarkable that I must regard it as a distinct leading of the Divine Providence that knows our every need and guides our halting footsteps," replied the missionary. "And do you think," continued the young trader anxiously, "that you want our entire cargo?"
The travellers, halting in the midst of the plain, selected a spot for their night encampment, made a fire, and hung over it the kettle in which they cooked their oatmeal; the steam rising and floating aslant in the air. Having supped, the Cossacks lay down to sleep, after hobbling their horses and turning them out to graze. They lay down in their gaberdines.
