And of a sudden the restless man began to sing.
Thou art his; and what should he regard or succour, an he regard not neither succour thee? Call him, silly woman that thou art, and prove if the love thou bearest him and thy wits and his together can avail to deliver thee from my folly, whereof, dallying with him the while, thou questionedst aforetime whether himseemed the greater, my folly or the love thou borest him.
In the course of his study of the part he had found that the youthful fops and gallants of the period put in their hats anything that they had been given some souvenir "dallying with the innocence of love."

An Indian was engaged in cooking a piece of meat, while the missionary and his reclaimed jewel, sitting side by side, her head reclining upon his shoulder and his hand dallying with her hair, were holding delightful communion.

There's a freight wreck on ahead, and we've been dallying along, hoping they'd get it picked up by the time we reach it.
Then, while our senior was dallying with an early strawberry, Winter gave me a lead. "By the way, Sutgrove," he said, "what's this I saw on the evening paper bills about a motor pirate?" I told him. His interest was awakened to such an extent that he forgot to taste the glass of port which stood before him, and which I had ordered out of compliment to the Colonel's ideas of what was desirable.
Could it be, I asked myself, that Keller had forgotten me, too? Had it been possible that the card upon which I had so carefully written my address had been misplaced?

In the breakfast-room I encountered the doctor, who was dallying over a cup of coffee and a morning paper.
In the great left-handed combat he appeared to be looking at the audience half the time, instead of carving his adversaries; and when he had slain all the sophomores and was dallying with the freshman, he stooped and snatched a bouquet as it fell, and offered it to his adversary at a time when a blow was descending which promised favorably to be his death-warrant.
