But I'm forgetting your tea! Shall we pull back to the Ferry Hotel and get some?" "I'm in your hands," she replied, languidly. He turned-the boat and pulled back along the centre of the lake in silence. Suddenly she bent forward. "There is something in the water," she said; "something alive." "It's a yes, it's a dog," he said. "That is what you saw drop over the steamer.
He certainly liked to lecture Kitty; and she used to look up at him with great, grave eyes when he was lecturing, and pretend to understand what he was saying. She very often did not understand a word; but Rupert never suspected that. He thought that Kitty was a very simple-minded little person. "There was quite an argument going on when you appeared, Mr. Vivian," said Mrs. Heron, languidly.
Blythe shook out his wry clothing, and moved slowly up the Calle Grande through the hot sand. He moved without a destination in his mind. The little town was languidly stirring to its daily life. Golden-skinned babies tumbled over one another in the grass. The sea breeze brought him appetite, but nothing to satisfy it.
Now she faced the door and stood attentive, and now she took up a small volume and sat down by her lamp. A tap: Constance entered, beaming only too tenderly. "It was better, wasn't it," she asked, hovering, "to come than to send?" "Why, of course, dear; it always is." A meditative silence followed. Then Anna languidly inquired, "Who is it?" "Nobody but Charlie."
Languidly the water heaved, languidly the white seagulls floated over it. "I should like to give that fat fellow one in the neck," thought Gusev, gazing at the stout Chinaman, with a yawn. He dozed off, and it seemed to him that all nature was dozing, too.
He got up as he spoke, and went across the room, to a covered basket beside the fire. "Mimi!" he said caressingly "poor Mimi!" He raised a piece of flannel, and a Persian kitten lying in the basket a sick kitten lifted its head languidly. "Tu m'aimes, Mimi?" The kitten looked at him with veiled eyes, already masked with death. Lathrop stooped for a saucer of warm milk standing by the fire.
Gallito, pale under her paint, was nervously biting her handkerchief and glancing from one man to the other, while the Pearl leaned back in her chair as lazily, languidly, scornfully indifferent as ever. Then Hanson laughed, and a little thrill went over the room. The new man was game. "Ain't that just your ruling, stranger?" he asked pleasantly.
Bassett to have Mrs. Owen there this summer. Anybody is lucky to have a woman of her qualities for a neighbor." "She's a noblewoman," said Bassett impressively, "and a good friend to all of us." On the train the next morning Harwood unfolded the day's "Courier" in the languidly critical frame of mind that former employees of newspapers bring to the reading of the journals they have served.
And as for your health, why, what's to make you well, if you cower over the fire all day, and shudder away from a good honest tankard as if it were poison?

He sighed, and, having poured himself out some tea, opened Lord Henry's note. It was simply to say that he sent him round the evening paper, and a book that might interest him, and that he would be at the club at eight-fifteen. He opened the St. James's languidly, and looked through it. A red pencil-mark on the fifth page caught his eye.
