But while it is still a street there runs from it southerly at a right angle a straight bit of avenue some three hundred yards long an exceptional length of unbent street for Northampton. This short avenue ends at another, still shorter, lying square across its foot within some seventy yards of that suddenly falling wooded and broken ground where Mill River loiters through Paradise.
'You see what happens to her if a lady loiters in the streets, she seemed to say. "It must be hard standing about here all day, after the life you've led," said Hilary. "I mustn't complain; it's been the salvation o' me." "Do you get shelter?" Again the old butler seemed to take him into confidence. "Sometimes of a wet night they lets me stand up in the archway there; they know I'm respectable.
We observe a man who could do a great thing of a certain sort if only that sort of thing were demanded to be done at the time and in the place in which he loiters wasted. We grow aware of a great thing longing to be done, when there is no one present who is capable of doing it.
But this Essay looks to me as if he had found the reading of Goethe hard work. It flows rather languidly, toys with side issues as a stream loiters round a nook in its margin, and finds an excuse for play in every pebble. Still, he has praise enough for his author. "He has clothed our modern existence with poetry." "He has said the best things about nature that ever were said.
The day after the triumph, the month of imprisonment will be taken into account, and St. Pelagie is not the 'carcere duro'. Papillon is cunning and wishes to have a finger in every pie, so he goes to dine once a week with those who owe their sojourn in this easy-going jail to him, and regularly carries them a lobster. Paul Sillery, who has also made Maurice's acquaintance, loiters in this studio.
Ideas savour most of reality in his mind; or rather his imagination loiters on the edge of each, and a page of his writings recals to our fancy the stranger on the grate, fluttering in its dusky tensity, with its idle superstition and hospitable welcome! Mr. Lamb has a distaste to new faces, to new books, to new buildings, to new customs.

'I thank you, father, In the meantime I am as one who knocks, and the door is not opened unto him. 'Rather art thou as one who loiters on the door-step, and lifts up neither ring nor voice.

Such a time had come into Wanda Leland's life.
The extensive forest occupies a great stretch of country below the junction of the Spree with the Havel, which here, on the west, loiters and meanders and turns upon itself; now spreading out into wide lakes, now narrowing to a thread, but finally reaching in its dubious course the wide-flowing Elbe.
