"You'll be discharged if you fill these kids up with any more of those yarns of yours," said Stokes, the nurse-maid, languidly looking up from the book she was reading. "I guess not," said Melissa, rather grimly. "My job's safe, no matter what I do or don't do. Go on with your reading, Miss Stokes. Your worries are almost over. Mine are just beginning.
"It really is, I think!" responded Lady Beaulyon, languidly, turning her fair head to look at the plain sallow girl with the untidy black hair whom she had only seen for a few minutes on her arrival at Abbot's Manor the previous day, and whom she had scarcely noticed.
And yet, apart from amazement at the pictorial skill shown, at the difficulties overcome, at the magnificence tempered by due solemnity of the whole, many of us are more languidly interested by this famous canvas than we should care to confess. It would hardly be possible to achieve a more splendid success with the prescribed subject and the material at hand.
After the door had closed, however, the Kid arose and stretched his muscles, not languidly, but as though to take out the cramp of long tension. He wet his lips, and his mouth was so dry that the sound caused the girl to look up. "What are you grinning at?" Then, as the light struck his face, she started. "My! How you look! What ails you? Are you sick?"
Here she was famishing with thirst and still no ice. Her partner had disappeared completely. Addressing her hostess Mrs. Brewster said languidly: "Your niece, I believe." "No my sister," corrected Helen with a smile. It was a mistake often made. "Of course of course, how silly of me. I might have known that. You look enough alike."

"By-the-bye," his neighbour asked him languidly, "who is our hostess?" "Usually known, I believe, as Lady Ferringhall," Ennison answered, "unless I have mixed up my engagement list and come to the wrong house." "How dull you are," the lady remarked.

Sir Lupus nodded a welcome and blew a great cloud of smoke into the air. "Ah," observed Sir George, languidly, "Vesuvius in irruption?"
Letter-in-the chaps!" was what they had said while the train pounded across the desert and slid through arroyas and deep cuts which leveled hills for its passing. "Letter-in-the-chaps!
