I then placed myself near the door; and whenever any one entered whom I guessed to be a stranger, I barked at him; and when the master entered, I went up to him with my head down, my tail wagging, and licked his shoes. If they drove me out with sticks, I took it patiently, and turned with the same gentleness to fawn in the same way on the person who beat me.
It was after noon when the traveller finished his investigations of Saint-Nazaire; and as the southern churches close between twelve and two, he took déjeuner at a little café near-by and patiently waited for the hour of re-opening. Had there been nothing but the interior to explore, he could not have spent two hours in such contented waiting.
The introduction of the word "patiently" should have been conclusive. I will not analyse more of the sentence, but will repeat the next two lines: "After five years of work, I allowed myself to speculate upon the subject, and drew up some short notes."

THEY waited patiently for what seemed a very long time, stamping in the snow to keep their feet warm.
I bore it patiently for some time, for children will be restless in hot weather, but at length I requested that they would get something to do. "Why don't you work, or paint, or read, Hatty?"

"Will you give me time and opportunity to prove my innocence?" she demanded finally. "And if I do convince you ?" "I should be delighted to believe that I have made a mistake," Mr. Grimm assured her. "How much time? One day? Two days?"
