I let him alone, still contemplating him with amazement. When I considered him ready to answer my questions, I said "Well, uncle, where have you come from?" "Té! I come from Japan, you know very well," he answered, just as if he were referring to the chief town of the department; "only I have dawdled a bit on the way, which prevented me from writing to you."
Then she dawdled across the room and opened his door just wide enough to compass the corners of her mouth. "Father," she whispered, "did Mother know that she was a rose before you were clever enough to find her?" "N o," faltered her father's husky voice. "That was the miracle of it. She never even dreamed that she was a rose until I found her."
Seeing that argument was useless, we walked away and crossed the railway lines. My partner growled: "I 'ope I meet 'im in civvy life I'll give 'im somethin' ter think about I've seen better things'n what 'e is crorlin' about in cheese!" There were fifty or sixty sleepers left. We dawdled on our way back, hoping that there would be enough men in front of us to clear the lot.
The fact is, my whole business in life for the last year has been to find her out." "You haven't dawdled so much, then, as people suppose?" "No; that's all very well to throw people off a fellow's scent; but you know me well enough, Dacres; and we didn't dawdle much in South America, did we?"

She was of the kind, indeed, who think better of a man if they believe him to be idle. She dawdled about all day on deck chairs, herself seldom even reading; and she was eager now to drag Hilda into conversation. Hilda resisted; she had found a volume in the library which immensely interested her. "What ARE you reading, Miss Wade?" Lady Meadowcroft cried at last, quite savagely.

I have had six delicious hours of oblivion; I have woke up with my mind composed; I have written a perfect little letter to Midwinter; I have drunk my nice cup of tea, with a real relish of it; I have dawdled over my morning toilet with an exquisite sense of relief and all through the modest little bottle of Drops, which I see on my bedroom chimney-piece at this moment.
Annie had been thinking fondly of it all day as a place of human well-being and geniality, free from continual sights and sounds of pain and sorrow, where everybody got up and sat down, went out and came in, worked and read, even dawdled and dreamt at will, subject to a few simple household rules. There was no unyielding iron discipline at Redcross.
I dawdled along therefore, thinking only to greet the place, walk with the stream, and lie in the meadow, sacred with the shadow of her demonian presence. Quit of the restless hope of seeing her, I found myself taking some little pleasure in the things about me, and spent two hours on the way, amid the sound of rushing water, now swelling, now sinking, all the time.
