I was dealing the cards a few minutes later, when the long-haired man emerged from the gambling hell, and imitating the maudlin, sauntered up to the bar and asked for a drink. After being served, he walked about halfway to the door, then whirling suddenly, stepped to the end of the bar, placed his hands upon it, sprang up and stood upright on it.
'I made my inquiries about the New Inn, near R-, and hearing it was a solitary sort of house, a little in the horse line, about a couple of miles from the station, I thought I'd go and have a look at it. I found it what it had been described, and sauntered in, to look about me.
Swiftarrow," exclaimed Reuben, as he sauntered up to the savage, with his gun on his shoulder, "ye seem to be beautifyin' yerself to-day not goin' to get married, eh?" Swiftarrow, whose long hair hung over his face like a glossy curtain, tossed aside his locks and gazed earnestly at the hunter.
Master Dewey was the ringleader of these young rebels, and chuckled with delight when the quiet-looking, ordinary-sized teacher sauntered down the highway to begin his duties in the schoolroom.
The mothers soon succeeded in finding spots in the spacious rooms of the Mint which had not been swept, and were covered with half an inch of mud for their precious charge, and there they remained to watch over them; while the men sauntered about, or tried to sit where anything like sitting was practicable.

From the boxes with the clockwork attachment at the side he led wires, centring at a point at the interior end of the aisle where we could see but would hardly be observed by any one standing at the jewelry counter. Customers had now begun to arrive, and we took a position in the background, prepared for a long wait. Now and then Donnelly casually sauntered past us.
And there were treasured books, valuable intrinsically or because of their inscriptions, that Farnsworth had collected here and there. Small wonder, then, that the library was the favourite room in the house and that after dinner Patty proposed they go there for their coffee. "Some room!" ejaculated Chick Channing, as they sauntered in and stood about, gazing at the wealth of books.
The others were laughing at him, so he hitched up his trousers and sauntered down toward the men's rooms, while the women screamed with laughter, and the men laid their heads upon the fence and shook with merriment. So the day passed, with endless ill-natured jesting and spitefulness. In the evening the men wandered out to indulge in horse-play on the high-road and annoy the passersby.
I shall ask for some special coaching to-morrow morning. May I engage you ten o'clock?" Marcella made some evasive answer, and they all sauntered back to the drawing-room. "Shall you be at work to-morrow, Raeburn?" said Wharton. "Probably," said Aldous drily.
