Nearly five miles lay before them to the foot of the mountain, and to the summit there was a long, steep mile and a half which was the time-consumer to be reckoned with. A mile beyond the post-office they turned from the State Road into a less-travelled, and hence rougher, side road.
This was extremely obliging upon their part, for if Valentine Dale were a "slow old gentleman," he was keen, caustic, and rapid, as compared to John Rogers.

Playin' now is just a time-consumer, that's all; they got it all tore to pieces, no top or bottom to it. "We used to play games, too. Ring games at play parties 'Ring Around the Rosie', 'Chase the Squirrel', and 'Holly Golly'. Never hear of Holly Golly?
