"Don't associate modern dancing with such unpleasant things. We do not want it to mean any thing but pleasure." "But how can you find rational pleasure in spinning round like a teetotum in a room of eighty degrees temperature?" "All people do not waltz; I do not myself." "The square dances, then? What are they but slouching mathematical dawdling, and 'promiscuous' bobbing around?"
What business had I to make a note in the Tower yard, or study in the Louvre? what business have I to think, or indulge myself in an idea? What business has any man to paint, or sketch, or do anything of the sort? I suppose the joggers are in the right. Dawdling down Whitehall one day a jogger nailed me they come to me like flies to honey and got me to look at his pamphlet.
This want of enjoyment results in much dawdling of time, a meager quantity of knowledge, and a desire to quit school at the first opportunity. The girl who adopted the muscular method of learning history was reasonably bright.
When the hounds were turned into a field and working, Sir Robert evidently thought: "Come! I can't be standing still all day while those dawdling dogs are bothering about after a hare; a gallop I must have!"

Some persons say that there is no distress, others that it cannot be greater. The fact is, the men were never better off, the women and children never so badly off.

The managing director handed Harrigan a card. "Herr Rosen," he read aloud. "Send him up. Some friend of yours, Nora; Herr Rosen. I told Mr. Jilli to send him up."
"Well," said Drouet at last, "we had better be going." They had been dawdling over the dishes, and their eyes had frequently met. Carrie could not help but feel the vibration of force which followed, which, indeed, was his gaze. He had a way of touching her hand in explanation, as if to impress a fact upon her. He touched it now as he spoke of going. They arose and went out into the street.
A Union army led by General Nathaniel Lyon attacked the Confederates with great spirit at Wilson's Creek but was beaten back in a fierce and bloody battle in which their leader was killed. Even before these events Fremont had been appointed to chief command in Missouri, and here he at once began a strange course of dawdling and posing.
If I had been a woman, I should have spurned him for his perpetual insult of inane compliments. He was always dawdling after "the sex," which was one of his sweet phrases, and yet he was not passionate. Passion does not dawdle and compliment, nor is it nasty, as this fellow was.
