Little girls lingered as long as possible by each inviting seat. Boys scurried past the chairs facing in the opposite direction, or slid around the treacherous ends lest they be caught. Still the waltz strains swung onward until they seemed eternal to the anxious players. Then a false note, another, a pause, and a wild scramble for safety.
Her sister was intimate with the other girls of her age and station, few of whom were absent, and if Eva could have conjured her to her side doubtless many would have joined them; but she knew no one well, and though many greeted her, no one lingered. Everybody had friends with whom they were on far more familiar terms.
As she concluded a hectic spot rose to either cheek, lingered there a moment, and then left it colorless as before. "Be it so, Miss Montgomerie, my word is pledged, and you shall go Grantham, I had intended sending one of my personal staff with the summons, but, on reflection, you shall be the bearer.
But Allen had spurred his pony forward, and before she could finish he was out of hearing distance, riding swiftly toward the cabin. Sheila lingered at the water's edge, for now suddenly she saw much beauty in the surrounding country, and she was no longer lonesome.
"My good Jane, I'll thank you to shut the windows, and ask Miss Danvers to have the goodness to step this way." "Miss Danvers have a headache, sir, and is lying down. She said as no one is to disturb her." The squire murmured something inarticulate. Jane lingered for a moment at the door, but finding nothing more was required of her, softly withdrew.

"I suppose you've been at the Grey Mare since Mr. Ashton's death?" he asked as they walked along.
Rose Adding had lingered for the incident with March, but they now pushed on, and came up with the others at the end of the bridge, where they found them in question whether they had not better take a carriage and drive to the foot of the hill before they began their climb. March thanked them, but said he was keeping up the terms of his cure, and was getting in all the walking he could.
Thus the last effort to check the English advance in southern and central New England was brought to an end. From this time on, the Indians in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut lingered for a century and a half, a steadily dwindling remnant, wards of the governments and occupants of reservations, until they ceased to exist as a separate people.
The girl lingered an instant, sighed, then laughed aloud; closed and re-barred the door, and was creeping back, when from the inner entrance advanced the grim father, and another man, of broad, short, sinewy frame, his arms bare, and wielding a large hammer. "How?" asked the host; "Alice here, and hell and the devil! have you let him go?" "I told you that you should not harm him."
Then there was supper to be got ready, and Hetty must be continually in the way to give help. Adam stayed till he knew Mrs. Poyser expected him to go, engaging her and her husband in talk as constantly as he could, for the sake of leaving Hetty more at ease. He lingered, because he wanted to see her safely through that evening, and he was delighted to find how much self-command she showed.
