She stood perfectly still, leaning her hand, as if for support, against the back of a pew.
When the whole of one flock is watered, its shepherd signals to it, and the sheep rise and move leisurely away, while another flock comes in a similar manner to the troughs, and so on, until all the flocks are watered.

Collecting our forces, we dropped leisurely down the river, but not without a parting yell of triumph from our Dyak force a yell that must have made the hearts of those quail whose wives and children lay concealed in the jungle near to where we had held our conference. We arrived at Boling soon after midnight, where we found the tope, with our provision, quite safe.
