But though Annie strove to recover her equanimity, and Rose tried to hum a tune softly as the girls still loitered behind the bannisters, to see the end of the play, they said nothing more to each other; a sort of shyness and shame had stolen over them. It was not enough to make them run away, especially as each did not realize that what she felt was common to all.
A cloud of Polish cavalry, distinguished by their long lances and floating banners, loitered in their rear. We had not time for further observation, when the drums on our side beat to arms, and the hoarse cry, "Fall in, fall in there, lads!" resounded along the line.
I read this inscription by the parting beams of the setting sun, which disappeared behind the horizon just as we passed out from under the porch. "Twenty years since the Squire died," said I, reflecting as I loitered still in the churchyard. "Ay, sir; 'twill be twenty year the ninth o' last month." "And a very good old gentleman?"
All the guests had passed them by this time, for they had loitered sadly. It was not that they were not proud of their clothes; they were as proud as peacocks, and minced along; but then it was enough just to wear one's fine clothes and imagine that they might meet somebody who would admire them.
Rudolph, fetch food and water for his majesty, and see to it that the silver plates and the golden goblets are well scoured and polished up." They conducted Barney to a miserable lean-to shack at one side of the clearing, and for a while the motley crew loitered about bandying coarse jests at the expense of the "king."

He now gave the whole of it to dealing cards. I loitered here and there, neither welcome nor unwelcome at present, watching the cow-boys at their play.
In the town after they had gone a Sabbath quiet prevailed. The merchants and clerks loitered in the shade of the awnings before the doors of the stores, and only their wives and the wives of the two or three rich men in town came to buy and to disturb their discussions of horse racing, politics and religion. In the evening when the wagons came home, Bidwell awoke.
I loitered about awhile, and then, for want of something better to do, fell to carving a railing with my knife. Somebody said, in an insinuating, admonitory voice: "Now, say my friend don't you know any better than to be whittling the ship all to pieces that way? You ought to know better than that."

"My friend," replied the Indian "the fishes in the water, and the birds in the air have taught me to work.
