Matilda started out, but was recalled by a glance of imperative appeal from Mrs. De Peyster. And so the three sat on in silence for a time, Mrs. De Peyster and Matilda taut with expectant fear, Mr. Pyecroft loungingly unconcerned. And thus they were still sitting when there was a knock, which Mr. Pyecroft answered. The cabinet-maker entered.

The principal streets and squares are lined with stone-benches, on which the people loungingly recline or stretch themselves.

As the school-teacher sat down John dragged a chair close and threw himself into it loungingly but with tightly folded arms. Dinwiddie hitched back as if unpleasantly near big machinery. John smiled. "I'm glad to see you, Mr. Pettigrew. I've been wanting a chance to say something to you for some time, sir." Pettigrew whispered a similar desire. "Yes, sir," said John, and was silent.
