"What did you say you were sowing?" asked Brook, with a peculiar smile. "Carrot-seed," answered Robert Skyd. "If your carrot-seed is sown there," said George Dally, pointing with a broad grin to the trench, "it's very likely to come up in England about the time it does here, by sendin' its roots right through the world!" "How? what do you mean?"
"A good thought, in truth," answered Harmer thoughtfully. "But surely his Majesty knows?" "Ay, after a fashion doubtless; but it takes some little time to rouse the lion spirit in him. He is wont to laugh and jest somewhat too much, and dally with news, whilst he throws the dice with his courtiers, or passes a compliment to some fair lady.
The guide shook his head at this, and, pointing towards the swamp, said, "That is the way. I have shown it to you; follow it if you will; I do not go." It was, however, of no use to dally, and orders were given for all hands to follow into the swamp.
For the voluntariness which is consciously realized in reason gives man the mastery over constitutional processes, not merely to direct, but even to thwart them; nor this merely for himself, but it is in his power, through the nullification of his own constitution, to nullify also that of the world, to dally with the institutions of Nature, and on the grandest scale to play the meddler.

Such are the childish excesses to which a playwright will presently descend when once he begins to dally with facile convention. An aside is intolerable because it is not heard by the other person on the stage: it outrages physical possibility. An overheard soliloquy, on the other hand, is intolerable because it is heard.
From the time her wet clothes had been taken from her, Kitty had threatened to go out on the fire escape in the hospital robe, if they were not returned very early in the morning, and nurse knew very well, she intended to carry out the threat. There was no bag or luggage to leave with Kitty, neither did she dally in her exit.
The archdeacon's mind, however, had already travelled from the death chamber to the closet of the prime minister. He had brought himself to pray for his father's life, but now that that life was done, minutes were too precious to be lost. It was now useless to dally with the fact of the bishop's death useless to lose perhaps everything for the pretence of a foolish sentiment.
