Glancing indolently and indifferently at all the prisoners, he ordered the officer in charge to have them decently dressed and tidied up before taking them to the marshal. An hour later a squad of soldiers arrived and Pierre with thirteen others was led to the Virgin's Field. It was a fine day, sunny after rain, and the air was unusually pure.
For when men hear such, then they say, if that is true, we will go on indolently, and do no good work, and so be righteous, as men even now say, that we forbid good works; for if one so perverts St. Paul's own words, what wonder is it that they should, in like manner, pervert ours?
One of the Jesuit's companions was a personage whose dress and manner proclaimed him a noble of the period. He leaned indolently against the frame of the wide window facing the avenue, through which the horseman had come, and he it was, Lord Rookwood, who first announced to the Prelate that a visitor approached. The third occupant of the apartment was a woman.

It was five o'clock of a dim morning, and no one was astir in the In-Place as the little steamer indolently turned from the Big Bay into the Channel and headed for the wharf.
What could it be?" demanded Miss Graham. "Ah, it wouldn't be so easy to say right off-hand," answered Colville indolently. Mrs. Bowen put her hand under the elbow of the arm holding her screen.

She had the sense to choose a new house built on a totally different stratum from her old one. If one collapsed, it couldn't well jar the other." "Hold on, Whittenden!"
