A slatternly negro woman dawdled down the street the following afternoon, and, encountering a friend of like description near the cottage which had been tenanted by Louie Gratz and his niece, paused for conversation. "Howdy, honey," she began, leaning restfully against the gate-post. "How's you ma?" "She right spry," returned the friend. "How you'self an' you good husban', Miz Mo'ton?" Mrs.
In the morning before breakfast I corrected the proof of the critique on the life of Lord Pitsligo in Blackwood's Magazine. After breakfast Skene and his lady and family, and Mr. Carr and his sisters, took their departure. Time was dawdled away till nearly twelve o'clock and then I could not work much.
Turning to the solitary clerk who dawdled behind the cashier's desk he remarked with more feeling than was his wont: "He's just the kind of chap to get me into no end of trouble if I give 'im rope enough. Take it from me, Stokes, I'll have my hands full of 'im up there this morning.
The nights were cold and still, lit by the great fan of the Aurora Borealis which pulsed upward to the zenith, glowing with its ever-changing colors delicate green fading into violet and blue, flaming redly or dying away in a pure white light. About this time the female lynx met her fate in an encounter with a fat porcupine who dawdled across her trail.
And to-day, Aunt Jennie, some queer things have happened, and the life that has so often felt like dreams has become very serious, and I have seen some of the inner working of events such as make one feel that existence has cruel sides to it.

"Ex Africa semper aliquid novi." In the last week of the old year we started on our journey to Kimberley, then a matter of thirty-six hours. The whole of one day we dawdled over the Great Karroo in pelting rain and mist, which reminded one of Scotland.
He had dawdled over his cigar because he was at heart a dilettante, and thinking over a pleasure to come often gave him a subtler satisfaction than its realisation.
He only looked very sorrowful, and wrung my hand. The meeting with my parents was worst of all; but over that I draw a veil. For months nothing could rouse me from my unhappiness, and in indulging it I dawdled more than ever. My prospects of a college life were blighted, and I had not the energy to face business.
Such being the old countess's programme a plan, according to her lights, grand and generous, she might have dawdled over it, for a good while, for she did not love trouble. It was not new; the airy castle had been some years built, and now, in an unwonted hurry, she wished to introduce the tenant to the well-aired edifice, and put him in actual possession.
